Optional Services

We’re never going to try and sell you something you don’t need. This means that our registered agent service and business formation packages are simple, stripped down, and cost effective. However, we want to make sure that you get everything that you want to run your business and achieve your success exactly how you like, so we’ve offered some optional add on services that you can select at checkout.

  • Tax ID (FEIN)
    A Federal Tax ID (FEIN) is essentially a social security number that is assigned to your business entity for record and Identification purposes. As scary as that sounds, having an FEIN isn’t just for “the man” to keep tabs on you. It will be needed to file tax returns, open banking accounts for your business and for payroll purposes. If you plan on starting a business that is anything other than a sole-proprietorship, we recommend that you file for an FEIN as soon as your entity formation has been confirmed, or we can do it for you.
  • Corporate Seal
    A corporate seal is a custom stamp made for embossing your Texas corporation’s official logo and incorporation date on documents, primarily stock certificates. Although they are not a legal necessity in Texas, they’re just plain cool!
  • Corporate Book
    As your Corporation grows, so does the need for storing and organizing your vital records and documents. We offer a custom Corporate record book and attach your articles of incorporation, bylaws, and leave you room to record your meeting minutes.
  • S-Corp
    If your corporation has less than 100 stockholders, and you’ve only issued one kind of stock, you most likely can convert your C-corp into an S-corp. With an S corp you can enjoy “pass- through”taxation (reminiscent of an LLC) with the IRS, without changing your corporate structure. We can help you successfully elect to file as an S-corp.

Secure Online Account

When we receive any legal correspondence on your behalf, the first thing we do is scan it into your own secure online account for you to view. We send you a notification email for all new documents we receive and you can easily download a copy for records from our server.

Our customers are the highest priority for us and we are available to help you out whenever you need it.

If you don’t respond to our email, we continue our efforts to contact you until we are sure you have been notified. You can choose to have us send emails to 5 additional email address–such as your CPA, attorney, or spouse–just to make sure you get any important messages from us.

Legal Duties of a 
Texas Registered Agent

Every Texas registered agent is required by law to fulfill certain duties for their clients.

As your agent, we must:

  • Maintain a physical location within the state where certified mail can be accepted
  • Keep regular business hours
  • Accept service of process and official mail on your behalf
  • Notify you whenever we accept documents on your behalf
  • Forward documents to you in a timely manner

Annual Franchise Tax Reminders

Because Texas does not required any annual reporting like most states, the majority of our annual reminders will be regarding your Texas Franchise Tax Report.

We will post your tax due date in your online account so you always know when it is coming up. We will also send periodic reminders just to make sure you don’t forget.

First Class Customer Service

Our customers are our highest priory and we are available to help your whenever you need it. If you can’t find what you are looking for in your online account or if you have any questions about your registered agent service of business formation, you can reach us by phone or email.
