When to Convert

Conversion Steps

  1. Assess Your Current LLC Structure: Evaluate your LLC's operating agreement, assets, liabilities, and ownership structure to understand the full scope of the conversion process. Identify any potential challenges or complexities.
  2. Develop a Conversion Plan: Create a detailed plan outlining the steps involved in the conversion, including the transfer of assets, liabilities, and contracts to the new C-corp. Ensure compliance with Alaska Statutes Title 10.
  3. Draft Articles of Incorporation: Prepare the Articles of Incorporation for your C-corp, specifying the company's name (ensure it's distinguishable from other entities registered with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing), purpose, registered agent, and authorized shares. Lovie can automate this process.
  4. File Articles of Incorporation with Alaska: File the Articles of Incorporation with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing. Pay the filing fee of $250. Expedited processing is available for an additional fee.
  5. Obtain an EIN from the IRS: Apply for a new Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS for your C-corp. This is required for tax purposes and to open a corporate bank account. Lovie can handle this automatically.
  6. Transfer Assets and Liabilities: Transfer all assets and liabilities from the LLC to the C-corp. This includes bank accounts, contracts, intellectual property, and any outstanding debts. Document each transfer meticulously.
  7. Update Licenses and Permits: Update all relevant licenses and permits, including any cybersecurity-specific licenses, to reflect the new C-corp entity. Ensure compliance with all state and federal regulations.
