- Strategic rationale and value creation opportunities

What is the main purpose of mergers and acquisitions?
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are strategic tools used by companies to expand their operations, gain a competitive edge, or enter new markets. These transactions often aim to create synergy, where the combined company is more valuable than the sum of its parts due to cost efficiencies, enhanced market power, or shared resources.
How long does a typical M&A process take?
The timeline for M&A transactions varies significantly, depending on the size and complexity of the deal. Smaller deals may close within 3-4 months, while larger, more intricate transactions could take over a year. Critical factors include due diligence, regulatory approvals, and negotiations between the parties.

Due diligence is the thorough investigation of a target company’s financial, operational, legal, and commercial aspects before finalizing an M&A deal. This process helps identify potential risks, liabilities, and opportunities to ensure the acquiring company makes an informed decision.
