Merger & Acquisitions Services
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are strategic transactions in which two companies come together through various means, such as mergers, acquisitions, or divestiture. These transactions are essential in the corporate world for various reasons, including expanding market presence, gaining access to new technologies, and achieving economies of scale.

Mergers: Mergers involve the combination of two or more companies to form a new entity. The original companies cease to exist, and a new organization emerges.
Acquisitions: Acquisitions refer to one company purchasing the assets or equity of another company, leading to the acquired company becoming a subsidiary or part of the acquiring company.
