Company Transformations
A civil partnership, general partnership, professional partnership, limited partnership, limited joint-stock partnership, limited liability company, simple joint-stock company, or joint-stock company (the transforming entity) can be transformed into another type of commercial company (the transformed entity).
An individual conducting business as a sole proprietor may transform their business into a single-member capital company — such as a limited liability company, joint-stock company, or simple joint-stock company. We advise whether such transformation is beneficial and which type of company would best serve the owner's goals. Tax advantages, capital protection, safety of management and partners, development opportunities, and funding possibilities can all be achieved by properly aligning the legal form of the business with current needs and future plans.
