Step 1: Consult a Legal Professional
Work with an attorney to ensure a smooth transition and compliance with California laws.
Step 2: File Articles of Incorporation
Submit the required documents to the California Secretary of State to establish your PC.
Step 3: Obtain an EIN
Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) through the IRS for tax purposes.
Step 4: Update Licenses and Permits
Transfer existing business licenses to your new PC.
Step 5: Notify Stakeholders
Inform patients, vendors, and other stakeholders about the change in business structure.
