Changing from Sole proprietorship to LLC

Answered by: 

Question: 
If a business customer changes their business name, EIN, and goes from sole proprietorship to LLC would it be best to close the current account, and open a new account with the new info or just change the current account to reflect the new information?
Answer: 

That is really up to individual bank procedures, but most banks require a fresh start for new entities. Since they are two totally separate entities, it would be like changing the owner of a consumer account from John Smith to Tom Jones.
