Navigating business transformations in Tennessee, particularly when a Limited Liability Company (LLC) decides to morph into a different type of business entity, necessitates a formal procedure, as outlined in the SS-4269 form. This Certificate of Conversion, a crucial document overseen by the Corporate Filings section at the Tennessee Department of State, embodies the legal and procedural essence for converting an LLC into another business structure. It is guided by the provisions within §48-249-704 of the Tennessee Revised Limited Liability Company Act. This form requires detailed input, such as the current and original names of the LLC, the date of the original articles of organization filing, and specifics about the new business entity including its name, jurisdiction of formation, and type. Approval from the converting LLC is mandatory, proving that all prerequisites for transformation have been met. Additionally, the form allows for specifying a future effective date or time for the conversion, should the immediate effect be unsuitable. Of particular importance is a provision for those converting to a foreign entity, necessitating an agreement to allow the Secretary of State to serve as an agent for process service in Tennessee, concerning obligations arising before the conversion. Accompanied by a modest filing fee, this carefully structured document ensures a seamless transition, underscoring the state's regulatory environment designed to facilitate business evolution while safeguarding legal and procedural integrity.
