Talk to a Specialist

Starting a business is a major milestone—but choosing the right legal structure is essential for long-term success. At our Austin-based CPA firm, we specialize in helping entrepreneurs, consultants, and business owners nationwide incorporate with confidence.

With over 40 years of experience, we provide expert guidance on forming LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and nonprofits, ensuring your business is set up for compliance, tax efficiency, and sustainable growth. From filing paperwork to strategic advisory, we’re here to support you at every step.

What is Business Incorporation?

Business incorporation is the legal process of forming a new corporate entity recognized by the state and federal government. Incorporating your business creates a separate legal structure—such as an LLC, corporation, or nonprofit—that provides protection, tax advantages, and credibility.

By incorporating, you:

Protect Personal Assets – Separate your personal finances from business liabilities.
Enhance Credibility – Gain legitimacy with customers, banks, and potential investors.
Improve Tax Planning – Choose a structure that allows for tax efficiency and growth.
Ensure Legal Compliance – Meet state and federal requirements from day one.
Access Business Benefits – Qualify for business banking, credit, and funding opportunities.

In short, incorporation isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about building a business on the right foundation. Our CPA team helps to ensure that your new entity is not only compliant but also aligned with your long-term goals.

Types of Business Incorporation

Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when starting or restructuring a company. Each entity type offers unique legal protections, tax implications, and operational benefits. Our team provides in-depth guidance to help you select and establish the entity that aligns with your vision, minimizes risk, and supports future growth.

LLCs (Limited Liability Companies)

LLCs are one of the most popular choices for small to medium-sized businesses due to their simplicity and flexibility. They offer:

Personal liability protection for owners (members)
Pass-through taxation, avoiding double taxation
Minimal compliance and recordkeeping requirements
Flexible ownership and management structures

LLCs are ideal for service-based businesses, freelancers, consultants, and family-owned companies seeking both protection and ease of operation.

S-Corporations

An S-Corporation is a tax election made by an eligible corporation or LLC to avoid double taxation while offering liability protection. Key benefits include:

Pass-through taxation of income, losses, and deductions to shareholders
Potential self-employment tax savings for owner-employees
Formal structure with shareholders, officers, and directors
Attractive for businesses planning moderate growth with stable income

We guide you through S-Corp election filing and help structure your compensation for maximum tax efficiency.

C-Corporations

C-Corps are the standard corporation type and are often chosen by startups and businesses seeking outside investors or venture capital. They offer:

Unlimited growth potential through stock issuance
Eligibility for venture capital and institutional investment
Corporate tax treatment, which can benefit businesses retaining earnings
Enhanced credibility with stakeholders and the public

This structure is ideal for businesses planning to scale, raise capital, or eventually go public.

Partnerships

Partnerships are formed when two or more individuals agree to operate a business together. There are several types (general, limited, and LLP), and they provide:

Flexible profit-sharing arrangements
Pass-through taxation to partners
Shared decision-making and management duties
Simple setup with fewer formalities than corporations

We help draft partnership agreements and structure tax and liability provisions that protect your interests.

Nonprofits

Nonprofit organizations are formed for charitable, religious, educational, or scientific purposes. Our team assists with:

Incorporation and bylaws creation
Filing for 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt status
Compliance with state charitable registration requirements
Structuring for transparency and donor confidence

This entity type is ideal for mission-driven groups that plan to apply for grants or accept tax-deductible donations.

With four decades of experience helping business owners build strong financial and legal foundations, our process is designed to be thorough, strategic, and seamless from start to finish.

Personalized Consultation

Every business is different, and so are its goals. Our process begins with a one-on-one consultation where we listen closely to your plans, growth vision, and potential risks. Based on this, we assess which business structure—LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, or another—is the most advantageous for your unique situation. We explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed, confident decision.

Compliance Expertise

Navigating the legal requirements of forming a business can be daunting. Our experienced team takes care of it all, including:

Registering your business with the appropriate state agencies
Obtaining your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)
Drafting or reviewing operating agreements, bylaws, and organizational minutes
Advising on business licenses, permits, and ongoing compliance requirements

This ensures your business is legally sound and set up to meet all regulatory obligations from day one.

Plan compensation for owner-employees (especially in S-Corps)
Position your business for long-term tax savings

Our proactive planning helps you avoid costly mistakes and take advantage of every opportunity.

Bookkeeping Services – For accurate financial tracking and reporting
Fractional CFO & Virtual CFO Support – For high-level financial strategy and planning
