Different
laws and filing formats govern merger and consolidation of business
entities in New Jersey. The choice of appropriate legal authority
and filing format will be determined by the types of businesses involved
and the circumstances surrounding the merger/consolidation transaction.
In all
cases, a copy of the Business Plan and Agreement of Merger must be
submitted when merging or consolidating a business. In addition, a
tax clearance certificate may be required if the surviving business
is not currently registered or is not an authorized domestic corporation.
The
forms for merger/consolidation
transactions may be downloaded. The fees
will vary depending on the business type. Given the complex nature
of these transactions, you may wish to have an attorney draft these
forms.
