Recent Posts

Overview

When Guanjin Emily Chen decided to launch Texas Sednair Industrial Products Inc., she brought years of experience in the equipment manufacturing industry. Although Chen had international business experience and had operated in another state, she needed guidance on how to leverage her expertise in the industrial compressor industry while navigating the complexities of launching her business in Texas. From business formation to site selection, Chen turned to expert advising to navigate the startup process efficiently.

The Challenge

Moving to Texas to start a new business was an exciting step for Chen, but it also meant figuring out legal requirements, tax structures, and location incentives. She wanted to make informed decisions to ensure a strong foundation for her company. After hearing about the Sam Houston State University Small Business Development Center (SHSU SBDC) from her local chamber of commerce, she reached out for expert guidance.

The Solution

Chen worked closely with an SHSU SBDC Business Advisor, who provided tailored assistance to help her set up Texas Sednair Industrial Products Inc. The advisor walked her through key steps, including:

• Business formation requirements
• Federal and State Tax Considerations
• Local economic development tax abatements for business site selection
• Human resources and hiring strategies
• Feasibility and expansion planning

By breaking down each step, the advisor ensured Chen had the knowledge and resources to confidently launch her company.

The Results

With the SHSU SBDC’s support, Chen officially started her business in Magnolia, Texas, investing $1 million in capital to establish Texas Sednair Industrial Products Inc. She is actively working with the SBDC on developing a hiring strategy to recruit 12 employees to grow her company further. 

“SBDC was instrumental in helping me navigate the Texas business landscape,” said Chen. “The guidance I received from my advisor and the team gave me the confidence to move forward, and I’m excited to see my business thrive.”

The advisor praised Chen’s commitment, stating, “Emily came to us with a clear vision, and we helped her refine the details to make it a reality. It’s rewarding to see a business like Texas Sednair Industrial Products Inc. bringing innovation and job creation to the local economy.”

With strong foundations in place, Texas Sednair Industrial Products Inc. is poised for growth, proving that with the right support and expertise, starting a business in a new state can lead to lasting success.
