Why Use The Coquat Law Firm Instead Of An Online Service

A skilled attorney is critical in the setup and protection of your business. Texas law imposes strict rules on how to start and run a business. Any errors could mean realizing one day your business doesn’t really exist or doesn’t have adequate protection. This opens up the door to your liability for any obligations or debts the business may have accrued.

Online sites can have out of date or incorrect information if they are not set up or maintained properly. Online websites like Legal Zoom disclaim any and all liability if they are wrong. NO liability exists for these online sites. Our Texas Business Attorneys know the right documents to file and the right questions to ask when forming or protecting your company. The Coquat Law Firm can provide all of the documents you need, specifically tailored to your business, plus valuable guidance only an attorney can offer.

Our Texas Business Attorneys will work diligently to ensure you and your business are protected from any errors an online site, like Legal Zoom, might make in the setup of your business. We not only ensure proper filing with the proper state agencies, we also can customize the bylaws or governing documents of your business. We work to help you get your business where you want it.

Online sites simply cannot give you the satisfaction of knowing for sure your business is ready to go. Don’t take that chance. Using a lawyer helps to reduce costs and liability for your business. The costs of setting up a business properly can be significantly less than the liability associated with a poorly protected business. Our Texas Business Attorneys are here to help you with the creation and protection of your business.

WHY CHOOSE A TEXAS LLC?

The Texas limited liability company (LLC) is quickly becoming a popular choice for all sizes of businesses. The Texas LLC is a hybrid business form that contains characteristics of both a corporation and a partnership. Owners of a properly formed Texas LLC have liability protection similar to that of a corporation. This can protect a business owner from personal liability for the business’ debts and liabilities while also protecting the company from the debts and liabilities of its owners.

The Texas LLC business entity is owned by its “members.” It allows for more freedom in how owners manage their business. A company can either be manager-managed or member-managed. Members are able to allow managers to essentially run the company and are not legally obligated to give them an ownership interest. This is similar to a corporate board of directors, but without the required formalities involved in owning and operating a corporation. Members can choose to run the company themselves without having the worries of personal liability as general partners would in a partnership structure.

The Texas LLC also offers tax advantages for its members. Members have the choice of being taxed as a partnership or corporation. Flexibility in your tax structure allows for more control and lets you build a business your way.

The Texas LLC is great for entrepreneurs wanting flexible tax planning and non-exposure to personal liability. Our Texas Business Attorneys are here to help you get your company started.

Is A Texas Series LLC A Better Choice For Me?

A Texas Series LLC allows you to compartmentalize assets and liabilities within separate cells or “series” of a single Texas LLC. This provides a means of isolating the assets of one series from the liabilities of the Texas LLC or other series. This is ideal for a business owner with multiple large assets or lines of business.

There is virtually no limit to the number of series that an owner can establish through a Texas Series LLC. Dividing assets and liabilities into different series, all within one Texas LLC, can help avoid the inefficiencies and costs associated with multiple related entities, such as corporations with subsidiaries. Debts, obligations, and liabilities of one series will be enforceable only against that series’ assets. The Texas LLC and the other series contained within it will be protected.
