-
To form a legal entity, you must first choose a structure, typically a corporation or limited liability company (LLC), to shield your personal assets from business liabilities. You must then select a jurisdiction, often deciding between Delaware for its investor appeal or Texas for its tax advantages, and file the necessary registration documents (such as a Certificate of Incorporation or Formation) with the relevant state officials.
-
You should prepare documents in five core categories: formation documents (like a Certificate of Formation) to create the entity, governing documents (such as Bylaws or Operating Agreements) to define internal rules, owner relationship agreements to handle future equity changes, operational documents (like Terms and Conditions) for customer relations, and protective agreements (like NDAs) to safeguard intellectual property.
-
Your business’s tax classification depends on your legal structure and any elections you make. While default rules treat corporations as C Corporations and multi-member LLCs as partnerships, in certain scenarios you can elect a different classification such as S Corporation status, to avoid double taxation or reduce self-employment taxes. The right choice depends on your specific goals regarding liability, administrative complexity, and tax burden.
-
To comply with Texas regulations, you must register with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) for unemployment taxes, verify every employee’s eligibility using Form I-9, and report new hires to the Attorney General within 20 days. Additionally, you must classify workers correctly as employees or independent contractors to avoid tax penalties and ensure adherence to the Fair Labor Standards Act regarding minimum wage and overtime.
-
The process begins with pre-contract preparation, where sellers typically provide a Disclosure Notice and buyers secure financing pre-approval. Parties then negotiate a purchase agreement, which includes an earnest money deposit and an option fee for the right to terminate. Following this, the buyer conducts diligence (inspections, title searches, and surveys) before finalizing the transaction at closing, where funds are disbursed and the deed is recorded.
-
Before buying or selling, you must assemble a deal team of legal and financial advisors and determine the transaction structure, choosing between an Asset Sale (often favored by buyers to limit liability) or a Stock Sale (often favored by sellers for tax benefits). You must then negotiate a Letter of Intent, conduct thorough due diligence, and execute a detailed Purchase Agreement that includes representations, warranties, and indemnification clauses.
