What is an M&A deal? The term ‘mergers and acquisitions’ (M&A) refers to the process by which one company joins another, either by combining together (company merger process) or by one purchasing the other to incorporate into the larger business (acquisition process).
M&A for short, involves the process of combining two companies into one. The goal of combining two or more businesses is to try and achieve synergy—where the whole (new company) is greater than the sum of its parts (the former two separate entities).
In this section, we have collected the most current articles and reviews on the topic of the M&A Deal.
