Summary Introduction

To explain: The difference between merger and consolidation.

Introduction:

Merger:

It is defined as a process of the statutory and contractual combination of two or more organizations when they agree to merge into one entity. In this process, the company taking over remains active while the other one becomes dormant and ceases all its operations.

Consolidation:

It is a process of the contractual combination of two or more organizations in which all the joining companies cease to exist and an entirely new entity is created, which is called the successor entity.
