Minority Interest Acquisitions

Minority interest acquisitions occur when a company buys a stake in another company but does not gain full control—typically less than 50%. This strategy allows the acquiring company to benefit from the target’s growth and profits without the complexities of full ownership. It can provide access to new markets, technologies, or customer bases while minimizing risk. Companies might pursue this approach to build relationships, gain strategic insights, or lay the groundwork for a future full acquisition. Overall, it’s a way to invest in potential opportunities while maintaining flexibility.
