Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

Re: Change Entity name

Yes, you can change the entity from a corporation to an LLC, but there are legal and tax consequences to your change. Therefore, you should consult your tax advisor and an attorney to obtain full information about the matter.

I have an office in Georgia. Therefore, I would be happy to discuss the matter with you.

If you don't want to hire an attorney, you should understand the steps of the process. There are small business advisors that may be able to lead you in the right direction (scoreatlanta.org). I just note them as a resource. However, I don't endorse or support the organization. You will have to do your research on the organization to determine its expertise and quality of information.

Re: Change Entity name

I'm not sure if you mean changing the name or the entity type (LLC vs. corp.), but either way you can do both. You can convert a corporation to an LLC, and vice versa. A company name is changed by amending the articles. And technically, changing the entity type will change the designation and thus the name as well.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
