Start a Business

Starting a business involves several important steps, including registering the business and finding a location, and Copperas Cove provides the guidance and support to navigate the process with confidence. 

Getting Started

Sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations all function differently. Determining the right business structure will affect taxes, liability, and how the business is registered. A Certified Public Accountant can help determine the best fit. 

Depending on the structure, new businesses may need to be registered with the Coryell County Clerk’s Office or the State of Texas. The Texas Secretary of State provides general information on where to register based on business structure.

Copperas Cove offers affordable properties and sites for businesses of all sizes.
