LLC Formation Questions from Allen Clients
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Texas?
The Texas Secretary of State charges a $300 filing fee for a Certificate of Formation. Our professional fee for handling the entire process, including document preparation, EIN application, and tax election guidance, is $350. Your total cost is $650 to have a licensed CPA set up your Allen LLC correctly.
How long does Texas LLC formation take?
The Texas Secretary of State typically processes filings within two to three business days when submitted online. We prepare your documents and submit them promptly, so most Allen clients have an approved LLC within one week of our initial consultation.
Do I need a registered agent for my Allen LLC?
Yes. Texas law requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state. The registered agent receives legal and state correspondence on behalf of your business. We offer registered agent services for $149 per year, and that fee is included free when you also use us for tax preparation or monthly bookkeeping.
What is the Texas Franchise Tax, and does my Allen LLC owe it?
Texas has no state income tax, but it does impose a franchise tax (also called the margin tax) on most LLCs. The annual report and payment are due by May 15 each year. However, businesses with total revenue at or below the no-tax-due threshold ($2.47 million for the 2026 report year, per the Texas Comptroller) owe no franchise tax. Most new Allen LLCs fall under this threshold, but you still must file the Public Information Report. We handle franchise tax filings and make sure your LLC stays compliant.
LLC vs. S-Corp: which is right for my Allen business?
An LLC taxed as a disregarded entity or partnership is simpler and works well for many Allen startups. Once your net income consistently exceeds roughly $50,000 to $60,000 per year, electing S-Corp status can reduce self-employment taxes significantly. Al will review your projected revenue and expenses during your consultation and recommend the structure that saves you the most in taxes without adding unnecessary complexity.
Can I form my Allen LLC entirely online?
Absolutely. Most of our Allen clients never need to visit our office. We handle everything through phone consultations, email, and secure document sharing. You can review and sign documents electronically, and we file with the Secretary of State online on your behalf.
