Merger of Two companies

Merger of Two companies

Didn't find your answer?

looking for some help and guidance on how to properly merge two companies and what steps are required to do it

both companies are owned by the same shareholders, assets are shared already, just wanting to streamline things down to one company

any advice on how to do this would be much appreciated

You asked this question last week.  If you have supplementary questions why not continue on the same thread to avoid confusion and re-inventing of the wheel?

If you have supplementary questions like "how do I effect a share for share exchange and what are the tax issues?" or "how do I hive up the business assets of a subsidiary to its parent?" etc. why not ask them?

Really

You want technical advice on a free forum and getting all pouty is your way of getting it?

I'd think again, bonny lad.

not really

 

cant see the put of asking it again on another thread when the question has been raised on this one - benefits no one and is a duplication of effort

It benefits people who might research similar questions in the future, and can then see it all in one place.

 

If you can't be arsed though, I'm sure nobody else will be either.

if the answer is on this thread all the info is in one place for someone to see in the future

if its not on this thread then this thread is only half complete - the question is on this thread and not another

so much for goodwill and helping others in the profession, never ceases to amaze me how many more comments are written to try and put down others than to actually answer a question and offer help......its a really sad state of affairs

howdomonty - John is one of the most helpful people on aweb and all he's asking you to do is post the questions on the original thread, he's even given you the questions to ask so with just a bit of copy and pasting you might get an answer. If the advice isn't worth a small amount of effort on your part then i'm not sure it's likely someone will put in considerably more effort that that to give an answer.

It would help me (and possibly others) ...

... if I could see the original questions and answers, instead of having to find the old thread to see what has been asked and answered so far, as then I would get the whole progression instead of a bit here and a bit there.

The irony is a question..

The irony is a question on merging companies should also require merging the threads.

You start off by printing off both threads

You start off by printing off both threads and then hive up the relevant comments ... I guess by putting them in a bee hive.

After the bees have worked their magic, one of the threads becomes redundant and can be destroyed.
