New Jersey . Entity Conversion
Convert your New Jersey entity to a different structure.
New Jersey allows statutory conversion between entity types: LLC → Corporation, Corporation → LLC, and other variations. The most common path is LLC → C-Corp ahead of a VC round. This guide explains when conversion makes sense, the process, fees, and the often-overlooked tax consequences.

LLC → C-Corporation
Triggered by an institutional fundraise. VCs structurally cannot invest in LLCs. Founders convert to a C-Corp (often re-domiciling to Delaware) before signing a term sheet.
Corporation → LLC
Less common. Usually for closely-held businesses pursuing pass-through tax treatment after exiting a venture path. Tax consequences can be material.
Re-domiciliation (same entity, different state)
Convert your existing entity into a new state. Common path: New Jersey entity → Delaware C-Corp ahead of a VC round.
