Reincorporation Merger

A Reincorporation Merger is a legal restructuring where an entity changes its state (or country) of incorporation by merging into a new entity formed in the desired jurisdiction, with the surviving entity holding the business. In startup cleanups, a Reincorporation Merger is often used to move into Delaware, and Reincorporation Merger planning considers tax, contracts, IP assignments, and stakeholder consents.
