Whereas business “conversion” involves a change in the type of business entity (converting a partnership to LLC, an LLC to corporation, etc.), business “domestication” involves changing the state under whose laws a business entity is organized. For example, a corporation originally organized in the State of Minnesota can be moved to the State of South Carolina. A domesticated business entity will be treated under the law of South Carolina as the same on-going business entity. The date of formation in the domesticated South Carolina entity will be the date of formation in the original state. In other words, the “foreign” corporation (foreign, because organized outside of South Carolina) can be “domesticated” into South Carolina and thereafter treated as a South Carolina corporation.
