Business Mergers
$299 service fee to combine two or more business entities into one surviving entity.
Combine entities while preserving legal continuity
Articles of Merger combine two or more entities into one surviving entity. The non-surviving entity ceases to exist; its assets, liabilities, and contracts transfer to the surviving entity by operation of law. Common scenarios:
- Acquisition integration · Buyer's existing LLC absorbs a target entity.
- Holding-company restructure · Operating sub merges into parent or vice versa.
- State migration · Old-state entity merges into a new-state entity (alternative to entity conversion).
- Multi-entity consolidation · Several sister LLCs combine into one to reduce compliance overhead.
Process
- Plan of Merger drafted, identifying surviving entity, terms, and effective date.
- Owner / member / shareholder approval per each entity's governing document and state law.
- Articles of Merger filed with the state(s).
- EIN and contracts transferred to the surviving entity by operation of law.
- Non-surviving entity formally terminates.
Timing: 5-7 business days for the filing itself. The legal and accounting work upstream (plan drafting, valuation, owner approval) takes longer depending on complexity.
Tax + legal: Mergers have significant tax and legal implications. We handle the state filing portion. We strongly recommend engaging both a CPA and an attorney for any merger involving outside parties, valuations above $100k, or multiple jurisdictions.
