Can the social security of individual merchants be transferred to the company?

Individual merchants and companies are different types of enterprises, and their social security payment also has different regulations and processes. Social security of individual merchants generally participates in social insurance as individuals, and social security of companies participates as employees.

If the operators or employees of individual industrial and commercial households become employees of the company, their social security can be transferred to the company. This process usually includes:

1. Stop social security payment under the name of individual merchants.

2. Provide personal social security information to the new company.

3. The new company handles social security transfer procedures for employees at the local social security bureau.

When transferring social security, we must ensure the continuity of social security, avoid withholding, and ensure that social security benefits (such as pensions) will not be affected in the future. The specific operation steps and required materials may vary from region to region. It is recommended to consult the local social security bureau or the human resources and social security department for detailed information and guidance.

In addition, the transfer of social security does not affect the transformation of individual merchants to companies. If individual merchants want to transform into companies, they need to complete the company registration procedures in accordance with the provisions of the local administrative department for industry and commerce and pay social security in the form of companies.
