The Most Ridiculously Easy and Safest Way to Register Your Own TX LLC
We were sitting at the kitchen counter of a rented beach house for my brother-in-law’s birthday.
It was around 8am.
My sister was making breakfast tacos - as she tends to do when we take family trips.
My niece and nephew were coloring at the counter next to me.
My brother was just walking into the kitchen sporting the new fleece pants I’d bought him for his birthday.
“Ash, these are kind of fire. They’re just so freaking comfortable.”
There is nothing like the feeling of nailing a gift.
It might be one of my favorite feelings in the world.
I was beaming.
But, of course, I also had to play it cool.
“Glad you like them…”
(quick, change the subject before you ramble on about how it took you over an hour to pick out the perfect pants)
“Hey, did you guys ever find a house you liked?”
My sister and brother-in-law were looking to invest in their first house flip.
“We did,” he nodded. “Dang, and I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the LLC for that.”
“Oh cool. Yeah. Let’s do it now,” I replied.
My brother-in-law paused for a second. He seemed confused.
He laughed and replied with sarcasm, “Oh, ok, sure - an LLC with breakfast.”
I was already retrieving my laptop from my purse in the living room.
“Wait, you’re serious? We can just do it right here, right now?”
He seemed skeptical about whether we could really register his LLC at the kitchen counter.
“Absolutely. No time like the present.”
I hopped back onto my barstool, opened the Secretary of State website, and got started…
“What’s the name?”
“I’ll go ahead and provide your business mailing address - don’t want your home address to be public information.”
“Let’s go ahead and make it manager managed in case you want to add members in the future - this will make it easier.”
“Let me enter your name here.”
“Cool. All done.”
IT TOOK LESS THAN 10 MINUTES TO REGISTER HIS LLC.
It took longer for my sister to cook the eggs, peppers, bacon, and chorizo and warm the tortillas for the breakfast tacos.
“Dang. Just like that. I have an LLC before I’ve even brushed my teeth this morning.”
“Happy Birthday!”
He shook his head, still a little stunned that it was that easy and quick.
“Thanks, Ash.”
What made it so quick and easy?
HE HAD AN LLC ATTORNEY WALKING HIM THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS.
LLCs are kind of scary.
They feel like this big legal hurdle, a bureaucratic red tape to-do list item.
They feel like renewing your drivers’ license.
Or getting a passport.
They feel like they’re going to take a lot of time.
They feel like they’re going to be hard to understand.
They feel easy to mess up.
Honestly, I felt the same way when I registered my first LLC.
Yes, I was already an attorney, but I practiced litigation at the time, not business law.
I also had no idea what I was doing.
I just did it, and got some things wrong, and fixed them.
(It turns out it’s pretty easy to fix your LLC, it just costs money.)
BUT NOW I’VE REGISTERED HUNDREDS OF LLCs.
There is a very good chance I could register an LLC in my sleep.
I’ve definitely done it half asleep before.
I’VE ALSO TRAINED OTHER PEOPLE TO REGISTER LLCs.
Over the years, The Corporate Legal has had a few law school interns.
Once I reviewed all of the information submitted by my clients to ensure there were no mistakes, I would hand it over to them to actually submit the information to the Texas Secretary of State.
I’m talking stressed out first year law students acclimating to a whole new method of learning, juggling work and their legal future and peers who are all competing for the top spot in the class.
They’re not the most clear-headed humans sometimes.
And I taught them.
I EVEN TAUGHT MY 6-YR OLD NEPHEW HOW TO REGISTER AN LLC.
(I let his mom type the actual words, but the rest was all him)
I made a bet with my 6 yr old nephew.
If he could register an LLC in less than 10 minutes, he could smash a pie in my face.
If he couldn't, I got to smash a pie in his face.
His mom (a painter who types with one finger at a time) entered the information for him.
He did it in 7 minutes!
And I had to explain a lot of the process as we went.
Needless to say, he was pretty excited to smash a pie in my face.
So was his little sister...
The moral of the story is that stressed-out, strung-out people can register LLCs.
6-yr olds who can’t spell long words yet can register their own LLCs.
That 6-yr old’s mom is a painter who couldn’t even find her laptop to bring to my house for this LLC challenge… she did it with no issues.
You can register your LLC on your phone in the carpool line.
You can register your LLC while you’re hiding from your kids in the bathroom.
You can register your LLC while waiting for your number to be called at the DMV.
You can register your LLC while drinking a sazerac at your favorite bar.
(but maybe do it while you’re on your first one)
You can register your LLC while pretending to work because your boss is walking by your desk.
How do I know this?
Because just like my brother-in-law, and my nephew, and my sister, and my interns…
I can now walk you through registering your own LLC with the
DIY Your TX LLC Bundle
The Most Ridiculously Easy and Safest Way to Register Your Own TX LLC
So what’s included in the DIY Your TX LLC Bundle?
Honestly, it’s everything you need to register your LLC and maintain it (because your LLC will require a bit of low-maintenance TLC).
The Bundle includes videos that take you step by step through the actual government website to:
✅ Register your LLC (cuz that’s kind of the main thing).
✅ Get the EIN for your LLC (so you can open a bank account and take advantage of tax savings when you’re ready)
✅ File the Beneficial Ownership Information Report for your LLC (a federal requirement)
✅ File your annual report every year (which is super simple, but if you don’t do it, the state will terminate your LLC)
✅ Prepare your Company Agreement (which includes a template download from my personal legal files - it’s the same template I have curated over almost a decade of forming businesses - it’s the same template I start with when I’m personally preparing one for a client)
It’s everything I do for my clients.
I’m revealing every secret I’ve got.
And it doesn’t stop there…
If you have questions along the way, I’m just an email away.
WHEN WILL I GET THE VIDEOS?
Immediately once you sign up!
The link to the video bundle is on the confirmation page AND delivered straight to your inbox so you can register that LLC ASAP.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This is for you if:
👉🏼 You’re ready to register your LLC, but every time you try to figure it out on your own, you discover that the government websites are confusing AF, you're not sure what sources to trust for guidance, and you're keenly aware that you don't know what you don't know.
👉🏼 You’re ready to register your LLC, you want to make sure it’s done well for the safety of your business, but you also feel like you should be able to do it yourself.
👉🏼 You have an idea for a business and know that registering the LLC early will enhance your chances of success, reserve the business name, and give you tax options when the business takes off, but you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it right now.
👉🏼 You're the DIY type. “Bootstrap" is your middle name. You learn quickly and execute even quicker. But when it comes to something as important and foreign as legal filings, you're a little more hesitant.
👉🏼 You’ve looked into the online LLC formation services, but have a sneaking suspicion they’re trying to sell you shit you don’t need.
👉🏼 You would feel 100% more confident in your business and in your business filings if you could learn from an attorney.
If registering an LLC is potentially in your future, and you’d be more confident and more inclined to take action with attorney guidance, the DIY Your TX LLC Bundle is for you.
**And, if, after watching the videos, you decide you'd like us to handle everything - because it would be faster, because it's one less thing on your to-do list, because you have other things on your plate that only you can do - you can apply the cost of this bundle to any of our packages!
WHAT IS THE COST OF NOT GETTING ATTORNEY HELP WHEN REGISTERING YOUR LLC?
First, let me start with - what is the cost of not registering your LLC?
When I ask people what has them hesitating to register their LLC, I get the following answers (and give the following answers):
Shouldn’t I wait until the business is more legitimate?
Hon, the business became legitimate the moment the idea came into your mind. Unless you are building a business based on breaking the law, it’s legitimate before you ever take your first dollar. You do not have to prove its legitimacy. Period. Hard Stop. And registering the LLC is you saying - I and my ideas are f’ing legitimate because they exist.
❌ The cost: your legitimacy.
I’m just a __________, an LLC seems like overkill.
I’m just an artist. I’m just a mom. I’m just having fun. I’m just a musician. I’m just an influencer. I’m just a creative. I’m just a dog-lover.
I’ve heard it all, and you aren’t “just” anything. You’re a fucking artist. You’re a fucking mom. You’re a fucking fun person. You’re a fucking musician. You’re a fucking influencer. You’re a fucking creative. You’re a fucking dog-lover.
You bring value to the world, and you deserve to receive value in return. Your LLC is you stepping into that identity and saying, “my work matters.”
❌ The cost: valuing yourself and what you bring to the world.
I don’t know if I’m the right person to do this work anyway, I feel like such an imposter.
First of all, what a natural feeling. It’s a sign that you’re doing something new. AND…
If the idea is in your brain, if the idea is tugging at you, then it’s yours to bring to life. You are exactly the right person. And you never had to be perfect to be the perfect person. There are billionaires out there making million dollar mistakes and moving on like it’s Tuesday.
If you have the desire, then you are exactly the person to pursue it, then your voice is exactly the voice the world needs to speak life into your ideas. The LLC is a HUGELY impactful way to tell your brain and subconscious - I believe in myself, and we’re doing this.
❌ The cost: believing in yourself.
And then there are the costs everyone talks about more frequently:
❌ Putting your personal assets at risk
❌ Paying thousands more on your taxes.
So yeah - registering your LLC is a great idea. But what’s the cost of doing it without an attorney?
I’m not going to make this a bigger deal than it is. Your LLC is fixable. You can always file an amendment, but those cost $150 a pop.
So, there’s amendment fees ($150/amendment), but I actually think there’s a way more expensive cost: your peace of mind.
First of all, your certificate of formation - that first document you file - will ALWAYS be publicly available (so if you put any private information on there, like your home address, technically someone who knows what they’re doing can find it).
But the mental load of registering your own LLC is heavier than it seems…
I’m going to describe 2 people, and you tell me which one is going to show up more confidently in her business:
Person A registered her own LLC. She’s not sure if she did it right, she wonders about that all the time. When she does anything legal, like sign a contract with a vendor, she wonders if her LLC is actually going to protect her, and she thinks twice about taking risks in case she messed something up and the LLC isn’t actually going to protect her the way it’s supposed to.
Person B registered her own LLC. She followed step by step instructions from an LLC attorney, and she emailed the attorney her questions before actually registering the LLC, so she knows that she did it right and well, that’s it protecting her the way it should, that she can take risks and make decisions from a place of safety in her business.
Who would you rather be?
WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT?
My clients pay me $450/hr for my time.
That includes reading and responding to emails.
That includes walking them through how to do the things they want to do in their business.
The DIY Your TX LLC Bundle has almost 2.5 hours of training inside over 6 different videos.
Here’s why this is good news:
That’s not a lot of time.
And that’s how long it took to actually walk you through every step of doing the things you need to do for your business with explanations.
That’s how easy this stuff is once you know what you’re doing!
That’s also $1,125 of my time.
But it’s not just the training time.
I also give you a template for your Company Agreement (a required document for a new LLC - also known as an operating agreement).
This template has been crafted over almost a decade of preparing company agreements for my clients.
My clients typically pay $1,500 for a company agreement.
But we’re still not done.
You have permission to email me with questions as you do the necessary things in your business.
You have access to an LLC attorney as you take this step to claim your legitimacy.
I honestly don’t know how to value this because the peace of mind it brings has made all the difference to my customers.
Just ask Alma:
The cost to keep me on retainer for a year is $10,000 per year, but you get access to me for as long as I’m able to keep up with the questions coming into my inbox.
I don’t know if I’ll always be able to offer personal access to me as part of this package.
As more people discover it and buy it and take ownership of their LLCs, I anticipate that I won’t be able to sustain the level of service I provide now.
But for now, you can get over $12,625 of attorney guidance and access…
Not for 10% of that price ($1,262.50)...
Not for 1% of that price ($126.25)...
You get access to the DIY Your TX LLC Bundle, The Most Ridiculously Easy and Safest Way to Register Your Own TX LLC, for the insanely low price of $97.
And it’s yours for life.
Use it to register as many LLCs as you want.
Use it to file your own annual reports every year so you stay compliant.
You’ll have access to any updates in the future, and to me via email as long as I am able.
Get it NOW!
