We provide Magento migration services for ecommerce brands. But if you want to start your Magento 2 migration by yourself, I recommend you to read this guide,

But in general the migration process from Magento 1 to Magento 2 consists of five stages:
1.Data migration
We will move all your data including products, categories, orders, customers, wish lists, ratings, and store configurations and settings from the database of Magento 1 to the database of Magento 2 using Magento 2 Data Migration Tool. We perform final website migration at night or during weekends to achieve a minimum downtime effect.
2.Theme migration
If you prefer to leave your current theme, we will modify it so it is compatible with the new Magento 2 standards. If you wish to update the design of your store, we will either create a custom theme for you or help you install a new Magento 2 theme from the Magento Marketplace. We will make sure your theme is responsive and provides the best possible user experience on all platforms.
3.Extension migration
Porting Magento 1 extensions to Magento 2 is a difficult process. Most Magento 1 extensions won’t work on Magento 2, or there might occur severe compatibility issues. We recommend installing the required extensions available on the marketplace for your brand new Magento 2 ecommerce store. In case the extension you need isn’t available for Magento 2, we will build custom code and integrate it with your platform.
4.Customization
Most likely you have some custom code that powers your Magento 1 store. Migrating this code to Magento 2 store won’t be a problem. We will make sure it is compatible with the new platform and implement the migration process using the open-source Magento Code Migration Toolkit. In most of our Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration projects, we optimize this code so it performs well in the new environment.
5.Quality assurance
During the process of migration, we make sure that everything works as expected. We cover all custom code with automated functional tests using Magento 2 Test Framework and ensure the new code follows the Magento 2 best practices. After each requirement is implemented, we do final quality assurance before going live.
