LLC Formation Questions from McKinney 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 full LLC formation process is $350, bringing your total to $650. That includes document preparation, filing, EIN registration, and a tax election consultation with Al. There are no hidden costs.
How long does Texas LLC formation take?
The Secretary of State typically processes filings within a few business days when submitted online. We prepare your documents quickly, so most McKinney clients have an approved LLC within one to two weeks from our first conversation, sometimes faster. If you need expedited processing, we can discuss that option during your consultation.
Do I need a registered agent for my McKinney 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 tax correspondence on behalf of your business. We offer registered agent services for $149 per year, and that fee is included free when you engage us for tax preparation or monthly bookkeeping.
LLC vs S-Corp: which is right for my McKinney business?
It depends on your revenue and how you pay yourself. A standard LLC is simpler and works well for newer McKinney businesses still building revenue. Once your net income consistently exceeds roughly $40,000 to $50,000 per year, an S-Corp election can reduce your self-employment tax burden significantly. Al will walk you through both scenarios with real numbers based on your projected income so you can make a confident decision.
Does my McKinney 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 LLCs. The good news: businesses with total revenue at or below $2.47 million owe no Franchise Tax, though you must still file a Public Information Report by May 15 each year. We handle Texas Franchise Tax filings for $250 to $500, depending on complexity. Many McKinney startups qualify for the no-tax-due threshold in their early years.
Can I form a McKinney LLC if I work from home?
Absolutely. Many of our McKinney clients run home-based businesses, from consulting practices to e-commerce stores tied to the city’s outdoor lifestyle economy. Your LLC’s registered office can be your home address, or you can use our registered agent address for added privacy. Either way, the formation process is identical.
