Can I Change my Business to an LLC or Corporation?

It is possible to change to an LLC or Corporation in Ohio. If a business is currently operating as a sole proprietorship or partnership, we can create an Ohio corporation or LLC. The assets would then need to be consolidated and transferred to the new entity.

It is important to note, there are intellectual property and tax considerations that would need to be addressed prior to the transfer of assets. Failure to address these issues could have devastating implications for the company in the future.

Before changing your business it is best to consult with your accountant and attorney before changing your partnership or sole proprietorship. We offer an initial consultation to assist in evaluating the transition to an Ohio LLC and Corporation.
