What Do Mergers & Acquisitions Involve?

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) involve the consolidation of companies or assets.

A merger combines two companies into a single entity, often to increase market share or efficiency. While an acquisition occurs when one company purchases another, absorbing it into its operations. A key decision for buyers is whether to acquire the shares in the company or to acquire the underlying assets and business.

We will guide you through key considerations when choosing between a share or business purchase, including:

  • Complexities of a share sale
  • Stamp duty and GST implications
  • Adequacy of warranty coverage
  • Potential financial assistance issues
  • Required external consents
  • Ease of transitioning employees
  • Existing shareholder dynamics

Asking the right questions early enhances success and reduces risk.
