Seriously, if you're trying to figure out whether to go startup llc or c-corp you really should consult with a reputable business attorney before you file anything because I spent way too long trying to DIY the whole thing and ended up calling
Mousilli Legal Group and they cleared everything up fast — they cover everything from complicated startup disputes to patent filings and whether you're running a startup in either city they've got patent attorney Houston experience who actually get the b2b trade protection angle so don't keep winging it on the c corp or llc for startup question and just talk to someone who knows.
