At Anquor Corporate Finance we have been dedicated to corporate finance for more than 30 years. This allows us to have a clear perspective on how this sector works. Thus, among other things, we have learned about the extraordinary relevance of a key figure: the merger of companies. In this article, we are going to talk about it in detail.
There are many reasons that can lead two companies to merge into one. Among them, the most common are the following:
In any case, beyond what was said in the previous section, what pushes two companies to a merger in most cases is wanting to enjoy their many advantages, among which we highlight the following:
To be honest, a merger is not always easy. It requires multiple steps that must be followed little by little. However, thanks to our experience and our hundreds of success stories, we have been able to reduce the complex path in5 key points.
Normally, in the field of business mergers, it is one of them who takes the first step and ends up being the motivator of the negotiation. Thus, the first thing to do is, if you want to access the aforementioned benefits, look for a possible purchase target. For that it is necessary to consider criteria, such as availability to purchase, proximity of sectors and future projection.
Having found several potential fusion targets, it is time to carry out the analysis in the strict sense. It is true that, for their selection, it has been necessary to apply a certain number of more or less flexible criteria. However, now is the ideal time to turn to financial advice on mergers and acquisitions, like ours.
After all, it is we who, with our knowledge, can draw up a possible merger plan, which includes the negotiation, the available purchase budget and the potential future benefits in the short term, medium and long term.
Once, after reports from the expert advisors, the closed and definitive decision to make the purchase is made to give rise to the merger, a negotiation process is required. This is perhaps the most important part of the entire procedure and, in most cases, it is the longest. It includes from a first contact to the rapprochement of positions, the approach of the circumstances and the provisional drafting of the contract.
Once the positions have reached a point of approximation, such that there is already agreement on all the relevant points, it is time to sign the final contract. This must be reviewed by experts in the field, like us, as long as we can give the green light to your signature. Otherwise, it could be possible to be assuming unfavorable commitments. Once the clauses have been signed, the merger process begins in the strict sense and at all levels, although in a smooth and progressive manner.
Integration is the final part of the merger. Potentially, this is a stage that can last for years. It consists ofthe progressive union of the two companies to give rise to a single one. It must be developed organically, avoiding duplication and internal competition, and giving rise to an efficient use of final resources.
In conclusion, after all that has been said, we hope that the role of company mergers in the field of corporate finance is much better understood. In any case, if you have any questions or seek professional advice in this regard, the ideal is to go to experts in the field with extensive experience. We at Anquor Corporate Finance have been advising buyers and sellers for 30 years, designing private equity management strategies and giving our clients just what they are looking for.
