A consolidation vehicle can make a transaction in which your comapny is being acquired simpler.

How does it work?

Prior to acquisition you would have all non-major holders of the target company be consolidated into a single entity.

What about document signature?

It depends on the configuration of your consolidation vehicle. Some companies configure their Consolidation Vehicle with proxy / power of attorney over certain decisions. Conact us to learn more. Regardless, all stakeholders that are being consolidated will need to complete a sign up process with certain KYC information.

Does this change the tax status for investors?

No, the process of using a consolidation vehicle does not involve a transfer of stock into a partnership, so QSBS eligiblity may not be impacted.
