LLC Formation Questions from Fort Worth Clients
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Texas?
The Texas Secretary of State charges a $300 filing fee for the Certificate of Formation. Our professional service fee is $350, which covers document preparation, filing, EIN application, and tax election guidance. Your total out-of-pocket cost is $650. Fort Worth does not impose any additional local business formation fees, though you may need a city-specific permit depending on your industry.
How long does Texas LLC formation take?
The Texas Secretary of State typically processes LLC filings within two to three business days when filed online. We prepare and submit your documents promptly after your consultation, so most Fort Worth clients have their LLC officially formed within one week of our first meeting.
Do I need a registered agent for my Fort Worth LLC?
Yes. Texas law requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in Texas. The registered agent receives legal and tax correspondence on behalf of your business. AG Freideman offers registered agent service for $149 per year, and it is included free when you also engage us for tax preparation or bookkeeping.
LLC vs S-Corp: which is right for my Fort Worth business?
It depends on your income level and how you pay yourself. A single-member LLC is simpler and works well for Fort Worth businesses earning under roughly $80,000 to $100,000 in net profit. Once your income exceeds that range, electing S-Corp status can reduce your self-employment tax by allowing you to split income between a reasonable salary and distributions. Al will walk you through the numbers during your free consultation so you can make the right choice for your situation.
Does my Fort Worth LLC owe Texas Franchise Tax?
Texas has no state income tax, but it does impose a Franchise Tax (also called the margin tax) on most business entities, including LLCs. The good news: businesses with total revenue at or below the no-tax-due threshold ($2.47 million for 2026 report year) owe $0 in Franchise Tax. You still must file the Public Information Report and Franchise Tax report by May 15 each year. We handle this annual filing for Fort Worth clients for $250 to $500, depending on complexity.
Can I form my Fort Worth LLC entirely online?
Yes. The entire process, from our initial consultation through filing with the Secretary of State and obtaining your EIN, is handled virtually. Fort Worth clients never need to visit our Dallas office unless they want to. Everything is completed through secure electronic documents, video calls, and email.
