# Consolidation Vehicles

> Consolidate existing stakeholders into a vehicle while preserving their QSBS eligibility. Clean up the cap table, streamline secondary transactions & more.

## What is a Consolidation Vehicle (CV)?

A Consolidation Vehicle (CV) is a unique structure that enables companies to consolidate existing stakeholders on their cap table into a single entity. Unlike traditional SPVs, CVs allow investors to keep their QSBS eligibility and voting rights.

## How It Works

Companies consolidate existing stakeholders into a CV for several reasons. Here's the typical process:

### Setup
- Create your Consolidation Vehicle with Rollups
- Identify stakeholders to consolidate
- Prepare consolidation documentation

### Consolidation
- Stakeholders sign consolidation documents
- Ownership transfers into the CV
- Cap table updates to show single CV entry

### Ongoing
- Rollups handles all administration
- Supports multiple closes and intra-CV transfers
- Stakeholder portals for viewing documents

## Use Cases

### Clean Up Stakeholders
Move early angels, SAFE holders, and small check investors into a single vehicle - and off your cap table.

**Case Study:** A $4B+ AI company reduced their cap table by 85%, saving them from distraction and ~$20,000/yr in admin and legal costs.

### Simplify Acquisitions
When acquiring companies or assets, use a CV to consolidate the incoming stakeholders into a manageable structure.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How are Consolidation Vehicles (CVs) different from Roll Up Vehicles (RUVs®)?

Consolidation Vehicles work on existing stakeholders already on the cap table to help companies streamline their capitalization, secondary transactions, and acquisitions. Roll Up Vehicles (RUVs) are a type of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) designed for founders who want to efficiently raise capital from individual operators and angels with a single cap table entry.

### How do Consolidation Vehicles (CVs) actually work?

CVs are a unique structure, unlike SPVs, that enable companies to enjoy all the benefits of a consolidated cap table, while also enabling investors to keep their QSBS eligibility and voting rights (unless the company wishes to supplement the CV with a voting proxy/POA). Contact us to learn more.

### What about my investors? Does consolidating them create negative tax consequences or remove their voting rights?

CVs are investor friendly. Typically, when companies transfer stakeholders from their cap table into a traditional SPV, they lose their QSBS eligibility and often lose voting rights. But CVs are not built like SPVs. Their unique structure enables stakeholders to retain their QSBS eligibility and voting rights.
