Why Business Formation Matters

Choosing the right business structure is critical for the long-term success and financial health of your business. The structure you select will impact your taxes, liability, management structure, and even your ability to raise capital. At JoD Tax, we help you make informed decisions by thoroughly understanding your business goals, financial situation, and operational needs.

Some of the common business structures we help form include:

Sole Proprietorship: A simple and straightforward structure for individuals who want full control and easy management.

Limited Liability Company (LLC): Offers the protection of limited liability while providing the flexibility of a partnership.

Corporation (C-Corp and S-Corp): Offers separate legal entity status, allowing for more sophisticated financial arrangements, greater access to capital, and protection from personal liability.

Partnerships (General and Limited): A business owned by two or more individuals, where the responsibilities, profits, and liabilities are shared.

Business Structure Consultation

Choosing the right legal structure for your business is a critical decision that affects your tax obligations, personal liability, and ability to raise capital. At JoD Tax, we provide personalized consultations to help you determine which business entity is best suited to your needs. We explain the advantages and disadvantages of each structure (LLC, corporation, sole proprietorship, partnership, etc.), so you can make an informed choice.

Name Registration

Choosing a unique and appropriate business name is essential for brand recognition and legal protection. We assist you in selecting and registering your business name with the Texas Secretary of State, ensuring compliance with state naming requirements. We’ll also help check the availability of your chosen name and handle the filing process to ensure it’s legally protected.

EIN (Employer Identification Number) Application

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is required for tax purposes, and it allows your business to hire employees, open bank accounts, and file taxes. We assist with the EIN application process, ensuring you have this crucial identification number assigned by the IRS.

Texas State and Local Licensing

We guide you through the process of obtaining the necessary state and local licenses, permits, and registrations specific to your business type and industry. Whether you need a sales tax permit, health permit, or professional license, we ensure that your business complies with all applicable regulatory requirements in Texas.

Articles of Incorporation/Organization Filing

For LLCs and corporations, filing the Articles of Incorporation (for corporations) or Articles of Organization (for LLCs) is a necessary step in officially forming your business. JoD Tax will prepare and file these documents with the Texas Secretary of State, ensuring all required information is included and compliant with Texas state law.

Operating Agreement and Bylaws Drafting

An Operating Agreement (for LLCs) or Corporate Bylaws (for corporations) is essential for outlining the roles, responsibilities, and management structure of your business. These documents help prevent disputes among owners and ensure that everyone is clear about their obligations. Our team will draft these agreements, customized to meet your business’s specific needs.

Tax Structure & Compliance Setup

One of the most important aspects of business formation is ensuring that your business is set up for tax efficiency. At JoD Tax, we provide comprehensive tax planning and compliance services to ensure that your new business adheres to all federal, state, and local tax requirements. This includes choosing the appropriate tax classification setting up payroll systems, and advising on sales tax registration.

Business Banking & Financial Setup

Setting up a separate business bank account is critical for maintaining the financial integrity of your company and ensuring that personal and business funds remain distinct. We’ll guide you through the process of opening a business account, ensuring that your financial records are clean, organized, and compliant for tax purposes.
