Mergers & Acquisitions
Merger & Acquisitions advisory is a combination of two or more companies into one, wherein the merging companies lose their identities. No fresh investment is made during this procedure. However, an exchange of shares takes place between the companies involved in such a process. Generally, the company that lasts is the buyer which preserves its identity and the seller company is extinguished.
