If you are a business owner in Ontario, you may have heard of the term “amalgamation” in relation to corporate law. An amalgamation is a legal process that involves the merging of two or more corporations into a single entity. This can be a complex and time-consuming process that requires the guidance of experienced Ontario corporate lawyers.

What is an Amalgamation?
An amalgamation is a process where two or more corporations merge into a single corporation. In an amalgamation, one corporation survives while the other corporation(s) cease to exist. The surviving corporation assumes all of the assets, liabilities, rights, and obligations of the merged corporation(s).
Why Do I Need an Amalgamation?
There are several reasons why a business owner may choose to pursue an amalgamation, including:
- Increased Efficiency: An amalgamation can lead to increased efficiency by consolidating resources, reducing redundancies, and streamlining operations.
- Tax Benefits: Depending on the structure of the amalgamation, there may be tax benefits that can result in significant cost savings.
- Business Expansion: An amalgamation can be an effective way to expand your business by combining resources and expertise with another corporation.
