We recommend converting to a C-Corp if a company wants to issue qualified small business stock and plans on selling its business in no less than five years.
Names of corporations must end with either the identifier "Incorporated" or "Corp." If one of these identifiers is present, then the company is most likely a corporation.

How to Convert Your LLC Into an S Corp in California Draft a set of corporate bylaws (you can use the bylaws from your original LLC Operating Agreement if they're applicable). Elect corporate officers and appoint corporate directors. Issue stock certificates. Conduct your initial board meeting.
To convert a sole proprietorship to an S Corp, you must form an LLC or corporation, meet S Corp election requirements, and file IRS Form 2553 (Election by a Small Business Corporation).
The C corporation is the standard (or default) corporation under IRS rules. The S corporation is a corporation that has elected a special tax status with the IRS and therefore has some tax advantages. Both business structures get their names from the parts of the Internal Revenue Code that they are taxed under.
Overall, a corporation has more structure and requires you to follow more formalities than with an LLC. See our article on how to form a California Corporation. A California LLC is formed by filing articles of organization with the state of California.
Because of the one-class-of-stock restriction, an S corporation cannot allocate losses or income to specific shareholders. Allocation of income and loss is governed by stock ownership, unlike partnerships or LLCs taxed as partnerships where the allocation can be set in the partnership agreement or operating agreement.
