§ 3303 Social Purpose Corporation Conversion

Key Takeaways

  • •If a special kind of company (social purpose corporation) wants to change into a different type of company, they need to follow a plan and get approval.
  • •After approval, they must file the right papers to make the change official.
  • •Once the papers are filed and approved by the state, the company has officially changed into the new type.

Example

A company that makes eco-friendly toys wants to change into a regular business instead of staying a special 'social purpose' company.

They need to get their plan approved, then file the right papers with the state. Once the state says it's okay, they're officially a regular business.
