Detective for Company Acquisition and Mergers
Acquisitions and mergers typically require extensive due diligence by the acquiring firm before committing to the transaction. The buyer must thoroughly assess what it is acquiring, the obligations it will assume, and the full scope and nature of the target company’s potential liabilities. Company acquisition and merger are two types of business transactions where companies combine or come under shared ownership.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are strategies companies use to consolidate and grow, but they differ in structure. A merger occurs when two companies join forces as equals to form a new entity, often with shared control and mutual goals. In contrast, an acquisition happens when one company buys and takes control of another, which can either continue operating as a subsidiary or be fully absorbed. While both aim to increase market presence and efficiency, mergers are collaborative, whereas acquisitions often involve one dominant party.
Company Acquisition
- In an acquisition, one company purchases another company.
- The acquiring company gains control of the target company’s assets, operations, and management.
- The acquired company may continue to operate under its original name or be absorbed into the acquiring company.
Merger
- A merger occurs when two companies combine to form a single entity.
- Both companies agree to join employees, often as equals, and their resources, assets, and operations are unified.
- The new entity may adopt a new name or retain one of the original names.
