When to Convert

Conversion Steps

  1. Assess Your Current Situation: Evaluate your LLC's financial health, legal standing, and operational structure to determine if C-corp conversion aligns with your long-term goals.
  2. Create a Conversion Plan: Develop a detailed plan outlining the steps involved in the conversion process, including legal, financial, and operational considerations.
  3. File Articles of Incorporation: Prepare and file Articles of Incorporation with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing to establish your C-corp. The filing fee is $250.
  4. Obtain an EIN: Apply for a new Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, as your LLC's EIN will no longer be valid for the C-corp.
  5. Transfer Assets and Liabilities: Transfer all assets and liabilities from your LLC to the newly formed C-corp. This may involve updating contracts, bank accounts, and other legal documents.
  6. Adopt Bylaws and Elect Directors: Create corporate bylaws to govern the C-corp's internal operations. Elect a board of directors to oversee the company's management.
  7. Notify Relevant Parties: Inform clients, vendors, and other stakeholders about the conversion from LLC to C-corp.
