Forming a Company in Hearne, Texas

A critical step is ensuring that your business is formed as a legal entity that is separate from its owners. Without a legal structure for the business, you can be held personally liable for the actions, debts and obligations of your company.

When forming a company, you will pick from many company types, such as a corporation, LLC, sole proprietorship, partnership or other structure.
