Texas LLC & Business Formation
Start your Texas LLC or corporation the right way — from filing to first books.
What is business formation?
Business formation is legally setting up your company. In Texas, an LLC or corporation is created by filing a Certificate of Formation with the Texas Secretary of State. You then get an EIN from the IRS, open a business bank account and set up your books. Northlane Financials handles the filings and gets your bookkeeping and tax setup right from the start.

FAQ
Business Formation FAQs
Should I form an LLC or a corporation?
Most small businesses start as an LLC because it's simple and flexible. We'll walk through the options with you. This is general information, not legal advice.
What is an S-Corp election?
It's a tax choice (Form 2553) an LLC or corporation can make to be taxed as an S-Corporation, which can lower self-employment taxes for some profitable businesses. We'll tell you if it's likely to help.
Do I need an EIN?
Most businesses need one to open a bank account, hire employees and file business tax returns. We apply for it as part of formation.
