Mergers & Acquisitions

There are many reasons for buying and selling a business. Among them are investment, divestment, conquering new markets, competitive pressure and concerns about succession planning. Often international businesses can get a big competitive advantage from an opportunistic lucky buy. Whatever the motivation, ownership structures of national and international businesses are changing dramatically.
