South Carolina Conversion of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) to a Benefit Corporation is a process whereby a business entity or organization is converted from an LLC to a Benefit Corporation. The conversion process involves filing a Certificate of Conversion with the South Carolina Secretary of State, changing the articles of organization and updating other documents such as the operating agreement and bylaws. The conversion allows the LLC to become a Benefit Corporation, which is a type of business entity that seeks to create a positive impact on society and the environment. The Benefit Corporation is a for-profit business entity that has additional accountability and transparency standards. The conversion process allows for a company to have a mission to create a public benefit or a specific public benefit, and to pursue that mission with a greater emphasis than is traditionally required of corporations. There are two types of South Carolina Conversion of a Limited Liability Company To A Benefit Corporation: 1) Conversion of an LLC to a Public Benefit Corporation; and 2) Conversion of an LLC to a Flexible Purpose Benefit Corporation.
