Is a Merger Right for My Business?

The fusion of two or more businesses by transfer of all property to a single corporation is called a merger. In this case, only one business continues in existence, having absorbed the others.

There are many different types of mergers: vertical (integrates different types of businesses that may share a supplier-customer relationship), horizontal (the combination of two related businesses), extensional (joints two businesses who are similar to enter the market), and hostile takeover (when a business is taken over against its will). In most cases, the business that continues to function makes an outright purchase of both the property and the stuck of the other businesses; the exchange of bonds, options and any other agreements are also continue by the businesses involved.

In some cases, businesses will merge to increase profits and reduce losses by reducing competition. A merger can also diversify production, protect against the liabilities of concentration in a single area, or to rejuvinate or revive a failing business with new management and employees.

GW Equity can help you decide the best path for your business. Our talented M&A advisors have lead numerous businesses through successful mergers and continue to offer the best service in the industry.
