Types of Business Entities in Texas

Various business entities are available in Texas. Each has its functions and advantages that you need to understand in order to make the right decision for your business.

Sole Proprietorship

Essentially, the business is the individual. It’s easy to set up with minimal regulatory burden but lacks liability protection.

General Partnership (GP)

Two or more people form it. Like a sole proprietorship for individual partners, it offers ease but no personal liability protection.

Limited Partnership (LP)

Comprises general and limited partners. Limited partners enjoy liability protection but cannot manage business operations. Offers a balance between liability protection and operational control.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

Similar to an LP, it provides all partners with liability protection against the actions of other partners. It is ideal for professional groups like law firms or accountants.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Offers flexibility in taxation and operational simplicity while shielding personal assets from business liabilities. Suitable for small to medium-sized businesses seeking growth.

Corporation (C-Corp and S-Corp)

C-corps are independently taxable entities; they offer strong liability protection but at the cost of double taxation. S-corps allow profits and some losses to be passed directly to owners’ personal income without being subject to corporate tax rates.

Considerations for New Business Owners

When deciding on a formation, new business owners should consider the following:

Liability protection: Different entities offer varying levels of personal asset protection.
Taxation: Understand how your entity choice influences your tax obligations.
Operational complexity and costs: Some entities require more complex structures and higher operational costs.
Future needs: Consider how your business may evolve and which structure offers the flexibility to grow.
