Convert Sole Proprietorship to LLC in November

This year, my side hustle energy kicked in and I started 3 new businesses (Etsy, Airbnb & Door-to-door sales).

  • Sales gig - Doing really well, I'm projecting $50k earned income by EOY.
  • Etsy & Airbnb - Not too great. I plan to make investments in the next few weeks to help grow the business (e.g. Etsy - buy more product, Airbnb - Renovate bedroom and upgrade furniture).

How the businesses are paid:

  • Sales gig  - paid through my LLC;
  • Etsy - paid through sole proprietorship (my SSN)
  • Airbnb - paid through sole proprietorship (my wife's SSN)

 

In 2023, I planned to convert Etsy and Airbnb to the LLC's EIN, so all 3 businesses would be under 1 EIN. I understand it's probably safer to create 3 separate LLCs for all 3 businesses, but for now this is what I plan to do.

 

My question: Since the sales gig is doing so well, I'd like to spend the money from that business on investments for Etsy and Airbnb. How would I go about spending funds from my LLC EIN business on my other business via my and my wife's SSN?

 

Can I just convert both to my LLC EIN now and use the income to fund the Etsy and Airbnb business? 

 

We file as Married Jointly, if that helps.
