What Is Merger & Acquisition?

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.
