How do I create an LLC in Texas?

Step 1:

Name the LLC. The name has to comply with the state’s regulations and has to not be taken.

Step 2:

Contact a Texas registered agent. One IBC^® is authorized to be a registered agent with a local office specializing in starting business in Texas by accepting any legal document and providing proper guidance.

Step 3:

File the documents. Send Form 205 - Certificate of Formation for a Limited Liability Company with a filing fee of US$ 300 to Texas Secretary of State. One IBC^® will provide the application along with detailed guidance on how to fill it.

Step 4:

Create an Operating Agreement. It is a legal document detailing the ownership of the LLC as well as how business will be conducted. To create an LLC in Texas, this is not compulsory but is strongly recommended.

Step 5:

Get an EIN or ITIN. One IBC^®’s service covers both of these tax ID numbers.

Step 6:

Open a bank account. A local bank account can greatly help the business but the application process is very difficult. With several partner banks, One IBC^® can help guide customers through this process.
