Change your business structure without losing control of the process.
We coordinate the research, filings, documents, professional reviews, deadlines, and post-conversion updates involved in moving an LLC or corporation into the structure needed for its next stage.
Entity restructuring is not one filing. It is a coordinated system involving state rules, sequencing, approvals, tax decisions, registered agents, governance documents, effective dates, contracts, licenses, banking, ownership, and post-filing implementation. We run the system so nothing falls through the cracks — and route every legal and tax decision to the right licensed professional.
A structure change touches far more than one form.
Most owners discover the complexity mid-process. Here is what a transition actually pulls in.
Every state writes its own rules
Statutory conversion, domestication, and merger pathways differ by state — and some states do not offer a given pathway at all. What works in one state can be unavailable in another.
It is rarely one filing
A single transition can involve multiple filings across two states, in a required order, each with its own form, fee, and effective-date rule.
Source-state and destination-state dependencies
The origin state and the target state each impose steps that depend on the other. Sequencing them wrong can stall or invalidate the transition.
Tax and EIN questions
Whether a new EIN is required, and how the entity is taxed after conversion, are decisions for a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney — not assumptions to make mid-filing.
Registered-agent changes
A new state — or a new entity type — often means a new registered agent, coordinated so there is no lapse in service.
Ownership changes
Adding owners, converting membership interests to shares, or bringing in a trust changes governance documents and cap-table records.
Banking and contract updates
Bank accounts, merchant processors, contracts, licenses, and vendor records all reference the old entity and need a post-conversion update plan.
Corporate governance requirements
Corporations require bylaws, directors, officers, stock records, and resolutions that an LLC never needed. The paperwork changes shape entirely.
Assessment and coordinated-workflow categories.
These are coordination and assessment categories — not guaranteed filing services. What is possible depends on your states, entity types, and professional review.
Statutory conversion
Assess and coordinate an in-state conversion (for example, LLC to corporation) where the state offers a statutory conversion pathway.
Cross-state conversion
Coordinate a conversion that also changes the home state, sequencing source-state and destination-state steps.
Domestication or continuance
Assess moving an entity's domicile from one state to another where a domestication or continuance pathway exists.
Merger-based restructuring
Coordinate restructuring accomplished through a merger (for example, merging an LLC into a newly formed corporation) with attorney and tax review.
Foreign qualification
Coordinate registering an entity to operate in additional states where it does business.
Registered-agent changes
Coordinate registered-agent setup or changes tied to a conversion, new state, or new entity type.
Corporate governance setup
Plan and organize the governance records a corporation requires — bylaws, resolutions, officers, and stock records — for attorney review.
Trust ownership coordination
Coordinate the readiness steps and professional reviews when a trust may own the resulting entity. Trust drafting and approval are handled by qualified estate-planning counsel.
The right path depends on your specifics.
There is no single “convert an LLC” button. The proposed method — statutory conversion, domestication, or a merger-based path — is determined by a set of factors, then confirmed with your attorney and tax professional.
- Current state of formation
- Current entity type
- Destination state
- Target entity type
- Ownership structure and any changes
- Federal tax classification and elections under consideration
- Whether operations continue uninterrupted
- Contracts, debt, licenses, and assets that must carry over
Seven coordinated steps, in the right order.
A command-center workflow that keeps sequencing, approvals, and status visible from assessment to completion.
Assess
Review the current entity, ownership, operations, and goals from the intake to frame the transition and its constraints.
Verify
Confirm the current entity's status and details against public state records and clarify anything ambiguous before mapping a path.
Map the path
Draft a proposed sequence — the likely filings, documents, dependencies, and effective-date considerations — flagged for professional review.
Coordinate professional review
Route legal and tax questions to a licensed attorney and a CPA / enrolled agent / tax attorney so the pathway and elections are reviewed by qualified professionals.
Prepare and sequence
Organize the document and filing package and the order of operations, so nothing is filed out of sequence.
Track filings
Coordinate submission through the appropriate filing channel or partner, and track status, correspondence, and receipts.
Complete the transition
Coordinate post-conversion implementation — governance records, registered agent, banking, contracts, licenses, and internal system updates.

Trust Ownership Readiness and Attorney Coordination
When a trust may own the resulting entity, we coordinate the readiness steps, organize the records, and route the work to qualified estate-planning counsel and tax professionals.
Nick Martin Builds does not draft, establish, or legally approve irrevocable trusts. Irrevocable trusts must be created or approved by qualified estate-planning counsel, and tax treatment is confirmed by a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney.
Straight answers.
Is Nick Martin Builds a law firm or accounting firm?
No. Nick Martin Builds is not a law firm, accounting firm, tax-preparation firm, registered agent company, or government filing agency, and does not provide legal or tax advice. We coordinate the research, filings, documents, deadlines, and professional reviews, and we route legal and tax decisions to licensed professionals.
Can you guarantee my conversion will be approved or done by a certain date?
No. State acceptance and processing times are determined by the relevant government agencies and cannot be guaranteed. We coordinate a clean, correctly sequenced package to reduce avoidable delays.
Will I need a new EIN or a new tax election?
That is a tax determination for a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney. We coordinate that review — we do not make the determination ourselves.
Do you draft the legal documents?
Customized legal documents and legal conclusions are prepared or reviewed by a licensed attorney. We organize, sequence, and coordinate the package so the attorney's work is efficient.
What does the intake cost me, and what happens after I submit it?
The intake starts an assessment conversation. Government filing fees and any third-party professional costs are separate. After the initial assessment, secure document collection (if needed) is handled through an approved secure workflow — never through this public form or ordinary email.
Can you use the MyCompanyWorks / EntityMachine API to file automatically?
Not today. Any partner or API-based filing is a future capability and is Pending confirmation from MyCompanyWorks. Current coordination is handled manually with the appropriate filing channels and professionals.
