Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) refer to processes where companies either combine (mergers) or one company purchases another (acquisitions). In the context of corporate finance, M&A is a strategy used to grow, diversify, or gain competitive advantages. For example, a merger forms a new entity, while an acquisition typically means one company absorbs another. These transactions can enhance market reach, reduce costs, or bring in new technologies. M&A is a key way for businesses to adapt to changing markets and improve their overall financial performance.
