FAQ

A Corporation (Inc.) is a legally distinct business entity that exists separately from its owners (shareholders). It offers strong liability protection, a formal management structure with a board of directors, and the ability to issue stock to investors. Unlike an LLC, a corporation is typically better suited for businesses planning to raise capital, go public, or scale aggressively. Corporations are also required to follow more formalities, such as annual meetings and maintaining bylaws. At 100Services, we help you navigate these differences and determine if a Corporation is the right fit for your business goals.

To register a Corporation in Texas, you must file a Certificate of Formation (Form 201) with the Texas Secretary of State, appoint a registered agent, and define your share structure and initial directors. You'll also need to obtain an EIN from the IRS, and depending on your industry, apply for any necessary licenses or permits. The process includes legal and technical steps — but with 100Services, we make it simple. We prepare and file everything for you, help choose the right corporate structure (C-Corp, S-Corp, or PC), and ensure you're fully compliant from day one. You won’t have to deal with state websites or confusing forms — we handle it all.

In Texas, the most common types are C-Corporation, S-Corporation, and Professional Corporation (PC). A C-Corp is taxed as a separate entity and is ideal for businesses that want to attract investors or go public. An S-Corp offers pass-through taxation to avoid double taxation, but has shareholder and stock restrictions. Professional Corporations (PCs) are designed for licensed professionals like doctors, lawyers, and architects — all shareholders must hold the appropriate Texas license. At 100Services, we help you determine which type is right for your business and handle all necessary filings accordingly.

Our Corporation Registration Package is a full-service solution designed to eliminate guesswork and save you time. We handle your business name search, prepare and file Form 201, apply for your EIN, and help identify required licenses. You’ll also receive compliance reminders for annual franchise tax filings. Optional services like registered agent representation are also available. With 100Services, everything is done quickly, correctly, and with no hidden fees — giving you complete peace of mind and a legally compliant business foundation.

Processing times vary depending on how the documents are filed and how busy the Secretary of State’s office is. Online submissions usually take 3–5 business days, while mailed filings can take longer. With 100Services, we typically process and file your paperwork within 24 hours of receiving your information. We monitor your filing status and keep you updated every step of the way. Need it faster? We also offer expedited service options. Our streamlined process saves you time and eliminates delays caused by common filing errors.

Yes, every corporation formed in Texas is legally required to appoint a registered agent with a physical address in the state. This agent receives official state and legal correspondence on behalf of your business. If you don’t have someone to serve in this role, 100Services offers optional registered agent services to ensure your business remains in good standing. We forward all documents promptly and maintain your privacy, especially if you’re working remotely or out-of-state. It’s just another way we make the process easier and more professional.

Texas does not require corporations to file a traditional annual report, but they must file an Annual Franchise Tax Report with the Texas Comptroller. Even if your business has no revenue, this report is mandatory to maintain good standing. In addition, corporations must follow federal tax requirements and, if electing S-Corp status, file the appropriate IRS forms. At 100Services, we send you timely reminders and help you stay compliant year-round. Our clients appreciate not having to worry about missing deadlines or state fees due to paperwork errors.

We provide an all-inclusive, error-free experience that saves you time, stress, and money. While you could attempt to register on your own, even small mistakes can lead to delays, rejections, or legal problems. At 100Services, we know Texas requirements inside and out. We process your filings quickly, ensure accuracy, and support you long after registration with compliance help and annual reminders. Our pricing is transparent, and our customer service is personal — because we believe every business deserves a strong and professional start.
