When to Convert

Conversion Steps

  1. Assess Your Current Structure: Evaluate your current LLC's operating agreement, assets, liabilities, and ownership structure. Determine if a conversion or a new C-Corp formation is more suitable for your therapist practice's needs.
  2. Create a Conversion Plan: Develop a detailed plan outlining the steps involved in the conversion, including asset transfer, liability assumption, and equity restructuring. Consult with legal and financial professionals to ensure compliance with Connecticut law.
  3. File Articles of Incorporation: File Articles of Incorporation with the Connecticut Secretary of the State to create your C-Corp. Ensure compliance with CT's requirements for corporate formation, including naming conventions and registered agent designation. The filing fee is $250.
  4. Transfer Assets and Liabilities: Transfer all assets and liabilities from your LLC to the newly formed C-Corp. This may involve updating contracts, leases, and bank accounts to reflect the new entity.
  5. Update Licenses and Permits: Update all relevant licenses and permits, including your therapist licenses and any business permits, to reflect the C-Corp's name and structure. Ensure compliance with Connecticut's Department of Public Health regulations.
  6. Notify Relevant Parties: Inform clients, insurance providers, and other relevant parties of the change in entity structure. Update your NPI (National Provider Identifier) information as necessary.
  7. Comply with Ongoing Requirements: Maintain compliance with Connecticut's corporate requirements, including filing annual reports ($150 fee) and paying the business entity tax ($250).
