Corporations

For other clients, a Texas Corporation is the entity in which they choose to operate their business. A Corporation often provides legal structure and protection suitable for more complex businesses.

Alexander Randolph consults with clients to pick the appropriate entity structure for their business. We assure that clients' corporations are structured and formed in compliance with Texas corporation law. We also assure that clients keep in line with corporate formalities, such as meetings and related documentation of decisions and changes.

Our Corporation Formation services for Texas Corporations include:

• Consultation to Determine Structure (Board of Directors, Shareholders, Officers, etc.)
• Name Availability
• Certificate of Incorporation
• Bylaws
• Unanimous Written Consent/Minutes for Organizational Meeting
• Unanimous Written Consent/Minutes for Annual Meeting of Board of Directors and Shareholders
• Tax ID / EIN number from the IRS

Many clients are also surprised to realize the corporation filing they completed on-line with the Secretary of State may not be all that is required to have a solid corporation in Texas. We consult with these clients to assure that the remainder of their corporation is completed to be in compliance with Texas law.

Sometimes new clients ask us how our services are different from on-line websites that offer corporation formation in Texas. Clients are always frustrated to see the mistakes we find in their corporation documents completed by an on-line service. Many times clients were unaware of how the choices made for them in these documents affect their business. Some of our clients have paid on-line sites more than our fees, because many sites charge customers for unnecessary filing fees and expenses.

There is no substitute for personalized legal service for corporation formation in Texas that includes individual consultation with the business owner and tailoring of the corporation formation documents to the needs of our clients. It is usually more expensive to fix problems in incorrect corporation filings than it is to have us complete the corporation correctly the first time.

We understand that businesses need to be able to budget and plan for legal fees and expenses. We offer clients competitive, guaranteed flat fee rates for corporate formation in Texas.

We are not CPAs and do not know the details of our clients' tax filings. Therefore, we strongly encourage our clients to make all decisions regarding Corporation formation in Texas in conjunction with the advice of a CPA or tax professional.
