FAQ
LLC formation questions
Which entity should I choose?
The right structure depends on owners, risk, profit, payroll, tax goals, and future plans. We can help compare options, but legal questions may require an attorney.
Does every LLC need an EIN?
Many LLCs need or choose to obtain an EIN for banking, payroll, tax elections, or multiple owners. Requirements depend on the facts.
How long does formation take?
Processing time varies with the filing method and state workload. We will explain available filing options when you start.
What filings continue after formation?
Ongoing obligations may include Texas franchise tax reports, federal income tax returns, payroll filings, registered-agent upkeep, and business licenses.
Is an S-Corp the same as an LLC?
No. An LLC is a state-law entity; S corporation status is a federal tax election that an eligible LLC or corporation may make.
