A corporation is legally a separate entity with its own identity. So Incorporating is like a birth of a new company. The existing company is presumably a DBA or John Doe, doing business as..... The assets, customer lists, employees and operations can be transferred to the newly incorporated business. A professional accountant may help with setting up the beginning accounting system.
Therefore any existing company can be incorporated at any time. This will necessitate opening a new bank account to operate business. If there is a single owner and an EIN has been issued to pay payroll taxes it may be attached or used in the newly formed corporation.
The newly formed corporation may or may not take on the warranty, obligations and debts of the prior company as desired by the owner/creatorzperiodz
