Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Services
In today’s competitive market, companies constantly seek to increase their capital, expand operations, and extend their services to the widest possible scope. To achieve a leading competitive position, companies explore opportunities for growth and strategic development. This is often achieved through mergers and acquisitions, which aim to strengthen large companies and rescue financially or operationally distressed businesses.
Mergers and acquisitions involve changes in corporate ownership structures, combining several companies or entities into one. There are different types of mergers:
- Horizontal merger: merging two companies operating in the same industry level.
- Vertical merger: merging two companies at different stages of the supply chain.
- Conglomerate (unrelated) merger: merging companies from different sectors.
It is important to distinguish between mergers and acquisitions:
- Merger: a mutually agreed combination of companies to form a new legal entity.
- Acquisition: one company takes control of a smaller company to form a new legal entity, aiming to increase revenue and achieve strategic goals.
