Certificate of conversion

A Certificate of Conversion is a legal document that confirms the change of a business entity's structure, such as transforming a sole proprietorship into a limited liability company (LLC) or from an LLC to a corporation. This certificate is filed with a state authority and outlines details like the names of the businesses involved and the effective date of the conversion. Essentially, it formalizes and recognizes the new legal status of the business, ensuring it can operate under its new structure with the appropriate protections and responsibilities.
