Changing from Sole Proprietorship to a Corporation

One of our visitors recently sent this query through our Consult Your Guides service:

Hi, I had recently formed a sole proprietorship which I want to restructure as a Corporation. I have determined that it would be more beneficial for myself and the business if I change the structure to a corporation but I have no idea what I'll have to do to get that done or where I'll have to go. Also, we have a contract done as sole proprietorship but I want to change the full structure to a corporation. Please help! Thank You- Dinesh - West Virginia USA
