The California Notice of Consolidation is a document used to combine two or more business entities into one. This document is filed with the Secretary of State of California and is used to officially dissolve the original entities and combine them into one new company. The Notice of Consolidation must include the name of each original entity, the name of the consolidated entity, the date of filing, the address of the consolidated entity, and the signature of a representative of each entity. There are two types of California Notice of Consolidation: statutory and non-statutory. Statutory consolidation is when two or more entities join together to form one new entity under the California Code of Civil Procedure. Non-statutory consolidation is when two or more entities join together to form one new entity without filing a Notice of Consolidation with the California Secretary of State.
