When to Convert

Conversion Steps

  1. LLC Member Approval: Obtain unanimous consent from all LLC members to convert to a C-corp. Document this decision in the LLC's operating agreement or a separate written resolution.
  2. Name Availability Check: Ensure the desired C-corp name is available in Alaska. Check the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing website.
  3. Prepare Articles of Incorporation: Draft the Articles of Incorporation for the new C-corp, including the corporate name, registered agent information, authorized shares, and the incorporator's details. Use Lovie to ensure all required fields are accurately completed and compliant with Alaska law.
  4. File Articles of Incorporation: File the Articles of Incorporation with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing. The filing fee is $250 as of 2024, but confirm the current fee schedule for 2026. Expedited filing options are available for faster processing.
  5. Obtain an EIN: Apply for a new Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS for the C-corp. This is a free process and can be done online. Lovie can automate this step for you.
  6. Transfer Assets and Liabilities: Transfer all assets and liabilities from the LLC to the newly formed C-corp. This may involve updating bank accounts, contracts, and other legal documents. Ensure proper documentation for tax purposes.
  7. Dissolve the LLC (Optional): Officially dissolve the LLC with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing to avoid future compliance obligations. This step is recommended but not always required, depending on your overall business strategy.
