When to Convert

Conversion Steps

  1. Assess Your Needs: Evaluate your current and future business needs to determine if a C-Corp is the right choice for your podcasting business. Consider your funding plans, equity structure, and tax situation.
  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: File the Articles of Incorporation with the Connecticut Secretary of the State to create your C-Corp. The filing fee is $250 as of 2023, but may change by 2026.
  4. Obtain an EIN: 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 bank account.
  5. Transfer Assets and Liabilities: Transfer all assets and liabilities from your LLC to the newly formed C-Corp. This includes bank accounts, contracts, and intellectual property.
  6. Update Contracts and Agreements: Review and update all contracts and agreements to reflect the change in entity type. Notify clients, vendors, and partners of the conversion.
  7. Dissolve the LLC: Once the C-Corp is fully operational, dissolve your LLC by filing Articles of Dissolution with the Connecticut Secretary of the State.
