Domestication VS Continuance


'n Domestikasie is die oordrag van die domisilie van inlywing van 'n maatskappy van 'n jurisdiksie van oorsprong na 'n ander (nuut) Binnelandse jurisdiksie van bestemming. Alle bates & laste word in een enkele proses oorgedra. In sommige jurisdiksies, die Domestication sluit die oordrag van die begindatum van inlywing in; in ander, the company is given a new birth date.

A Continuance however, is a Domestication which guarantees the lifetime of company since birth, thus the company retains its age. The company just moves and continues its life in the new jurisdiction.

In both cases, prior to any Domestication or Continuance, the company must be authorized by its shareholders/members in the old jurisdiction of origin to do so, and then (ideally) dissolved once the move has been completed.

Other names are also given to this process: Corporate Migration, Migration of Company, Redomiciliation, Transfer of Domicile, or Redomicile.

Do not think that this is something unusual: big companies listed on Stock Exchanges do this, for example Teekay Shipping Corporation (listed on the NYSE), which moved from Liberia to the Marshall Islands in 1999.
