The purpose of a Certificate of Conversion in Georgia is to provide evidence that a corporation has converted to a limited liability company (LLC) or a restricted liability partnership (LLP). It is a document that is filed with the Georgia Secretary of State to officially register the conversion with the state.

You do not have to register your business with the state of Georgia unless you are planning to incorporate, become a specific legal entity or if you plan to do business with the state. In which case, you will need to become a registered vendor through the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS).

In Georgia, an LLC name must contain the words ?Limited Liability Company? or ?Limited Company,? or the abbreviations ?Ltd.,? ?Co.,? ?LLC,? ?LC,? ?L.L.C.,? or ?L.C.? The state also restricts certain words, like those pertaining to insurance, banking or education (see Georgia's rules on restricted names).

But good news: Georgia doesn't require a general license to do business in the state. Meaning, your Georgia LLC doesn't need a general state business license. But depending on what type of business you run, your LLC might need an occupational license.

Most states require your business name to include the words "Limited Liability Company," "LLC," or another approved abbreviation. States also restrict certain words from being used in business names. These typically include words that may lead to public confusion, such as "bank" or "insurance."

The certificate of conversion contains basic information about the conversion, including such items as: the name of your LLC. the jurisdiction under which your LLC was formed (Georgia) a statement that the LLC is electing to become a corporation. the effective date of the conversion, if later than the filing date.
