About Business Conversion
As a business grows, the structure it started with often stops fitting. A proprietorship cannot easily raise equity, a partnership carries unlimited personal liability, and an OPC has turnover and paid-up capital limits. Converting to the right structure brings limited liability, investor readiness and stronger credibility.
NewStarts Business Conversion covers every common route under the Companies Act, 2013 and the LLP Act, 2008. We assess your facts, choose the correct route, prepare resolutions and agreements, file with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and make sure PAN, GST, bank accounts, licences and contracts move smoothly to the new entity.
What is Business Conversion?
Business conversion is the legal process of changing the constitution of an existing business from one form to another — for example, a partnership firm to an LLP or company, or a private limited company to a public limited company — while keeping continuity of the business, its assets and its liabilities as the law permits.

It is the legal process of changing the form of an existing business, such as partnership to LLP or private company to public company, while carrying its business forward.
Yes. The business is taken over by a new private limited company or LLP through an agreement, and assets, licences and contracts are transferred.
Register the LLP using FiLLiP with the Third Schedule requirements, then file Form 17 for the conversion and update registrations.
When paid-up share capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or average turnover crosses ₹2 crore, the OPC must convert to a private or public company.
A private company restricts share transfer and has fewer compliances; a public company can invite the public to subscribe to shares and has stricter norms.
PAN generally continues for conversion of a company form, while a new PAN may be required in some routes. GST and other registrations are transferred or updated by NewStarts.
Most conversions take about 10 to 30 working days depending on the route and authority review.
Some conversions are tax-neutral if conditions are met; NewStarts reviews conditions before recommending a route.
