Texas Professional LLC Formation
A professional Limited Liability Company is a business that provides a licensed service to consumers, such as a psychiatrist, dentist or surgeon.
The formation of your Professional Limited Liability Company is a filing done with the Secretary of State to formally and legally list your company in Texas. This allows you to do business within the state of Texas, pay employees residing in Texas, and so on.
Benefits of starting an PLLC include protection of your assets, separation of your finances from the business finances and the business becomes its own legal entity.
To form a Professional Limited Liability Company in Texas you will need a few things:
- A suffix. The ending to your business name must include one of the following: Professional Limited Liability Company , PLLC , P L L C , P.L.L.C.
- A Registered Agent that is located within Texas. A company cannot be its own Registered Agent
- A mailing address, which can be anywhere
- One or more governing persons. LLCs require either Members or Managers. Members are owners of the business, while Managers are decision-makers. Managers can be owners of a business too, but aren’t inherently. A Member or Manager can be another business.
- A business purpose detailing the licensed service to be provided
- Additional provisions (if desired)
