Forming An LLC
Once you have decided to organize your new Dallas business as a limited liability company (LLC), you must take several other steps to complete the creation of your enterprise.
Choosing a name is vital. Texas state law requires identification of the company as a limited liability company with one of the following:
- Limited liability company
- Limited company
- L.L.C.
- LLC
- LC
- L.C.
- Ltd.
- LTD
Before you create advertising and print stationery, you should ideally check to see that no other Texas company has the same name. Once you have a name chosen, an LLC can be beneficial for several reasons, including that it can protect you and your business.
Filing a certificate of formation with the secretary of state is also essential. You can complete this yourself or entrust it to your business law attorney to prevent time-consuming errors. At this time, appointment of a registered agent should be confirmed: a Texas resident with a street address or a business entity authorized to do business in Texas.
Preparing your business for smooth operations through a properly documented agreement is the next step in most cases. This is not something you need to file with the government, but it is a best practice for successful businesses.
Obtaining an IRS employer identification number (EIN), appropriate state and local licenses, and sales tax registration are other necessities for new LLCs.
