Understanding an Acquisition

What Is an Acquisition?

An acquisition is when one company buys another to take control of it. This can help the bigger company grow and become more powerful.

Why Do Companies Do This?

  • To save money by combining efforts.
  • To spread out into new areas.
  • To control a larger part of the market.
  • To add new types of products.
  • To reduce competition.

Things to Consider Before an Acquisition

  • Is the buying price fair?
  • How much debt does the other company have?
  • Are there any ongoing legal issues?
  • Are the financials clear and organized?

Real-Life Example
