Conversion Steps

  1. LLC Member Approval: Obtain unanimous consent from all LLC members to convert to a C-Corp, documented in meeting minutes.
  2. Name Availability Check: Verify that your desired C-Corp name is available with the Colorado Secretary of State. Ensure it meets naming requirements under Colorado Revised Statutes Title 7.
  3. Articles of Incorporation Filing: File Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State, including details like the corporate name, registered agent, and authorized shares. The filing fee is currently $50.
  4. Registered Agent Appointment: Designate a registered agent in Colorado to receive official legal and tax documents. Lovie.co can act as your registered agent.
  5. IRS Form 2553 (S-Election, Optional): If you wish to be taxed as an S-Corp, file Form 2553 with the IRS. This must be done within 75 days of incorporation.
  6. EIN Application: Obtain a new Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS for your C-Corp.
  7. Asset Transfer and Legal Formalities: Transfer all assets and liabilities from the LLC to the C-Corp. Update contracts, bank accounts, and licenses to reflect the new corporate entity. File a Certificate of Change with the Colorado Secretary of State if updating the registered agent or principal office.
