BUSINESS MERGERS

Successful business mergers are achieved when the total shareholder value of all parties has been enhanced, the resulting (merged) business is stronger, more competitive, resilient and able to achieve more in its market than if it were in pre-merger parts.

There tends to be fewer mergers than acquisitions in business for a couple of important reasons: Firstly, the risks are higher and secondly, business owners tend to have less experience with mergers than business sales (divestments) and acquisitions. Therefore, parties to a merger need to engage expert advisors to manage and facilitate what can be a tricky and often delicate, process.
