A merger is when two companies join forces to form a new company, while an acquisition is when one company buys another and takes control of it.
Businesses go for M&A to grow faster, enter new markets, reduce competition, or add new products and technologies. It's a smart strategy to scale up and stay ahead in the game.
For fast-growing startups, M&A is not an exit plan, it’s a growth strategy.
Enter new geographies or customer segments faster than organic growth would allow.
Diversify your offerings by acquiring companies with complementary or innovative solutions.
Streamline operations, eliminate duplicate costs, and reduce market rivalry for stronger positioning.
Unlock new revenue streams and cost efficiencies that improve margins and boost valuation.
Bring together different strengths—technology, talent, or IP—for a more robust business model.
Achieve scale faster with integrated systems, bulk procurement advantages, and shared infrastructure.
