Are you ready to set up your own limited liability company?
Why not get going right now? You'll save hundreds of dollars setting up your llc by using one of my do-it-yourself Texas llc kits. You'll immediately reduce your business or investment risk. And you'll probably begin saving thousands of dollars a year in taxes.
Don't make the mistake of thinking you can't use the do-it-yourself approach. You don't need to pay $300, $500 or more to some web site or paralegal service to fill out a simple form that asks for bits of information like your name and address. Seriously, the forms only provide a couple of opportunities for you to goof things up--and the kit makes sure you avoid those errors!
Special Bonus: Sample Limited Liability Company Operating Agreements
Another benefit of going the do-it-yourself route. All of the do-it-yourself kits include both a single member (one owner) and multiple member (multiple owners) operating agreement. Get started even faster by using one of these sample operating agreements as your starting point!

Do You Know For Sure You Want An S Corporation?
A Final Point: Would Prefer a Traditional Corporation?
For all the reasons given here, in my opinion, most small businesses and investors should use a limited liability company rather than a traditional corporation. However, some entrepreneurs and investors don't like to use the words and acronyms such as "limited liability" or "LLC" in their business name (often for marketing reasons). Rather, these business men and women prefer the words and acronyms like "corporation," "incorporated," "corp," "inc." and so forth.
If you're not so sure about using a limited liability company, or LLC, for your business, you should know that another afiliated web site which I've set up, Fast Easy Incorporation Kits, sells do-it-yourself incorporation kits for setting up a traditional-style corporation. Those kits include discussions of how corporations are treated for tax purposes and a description of the steps for making a subchapter S election for a traditional-style corporation. Accordingly, if you don't want to use a limited liability company as the platform for your subchapter S corporation, consider instead purchasing the Do-It-Yourself Texas Incorporation Kit: Incorporating in Texas.
