How to start and register a business in Texas as a Mexican entrepreneur.

Starting a Business in Texas

Texas is one of the most business-friendly states in the US, with no state income tax and a thriving startup ecosystem in Austin.

Business Structure

Most startups choose an LLC or C-Corp. An LLC is simpler and more flexible. A C-Corp is standard if you plan to raise venture capital.

Registration

Register with the Texas Secretary of State. You'll need a registered agent with a Texas address. You can file online.

Banking

Open a US business bank account. You'll need your EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS, articles of organization, and identification.
