The 21st-century business climate has evolved. Mergers and acquisitions, or M&A, were once tools almost exclusively for the mega-corporations and billionaires. Not in today’s world. Even if the business owner has no immediate plans to sell or reorganize their business, it is wise to have a basic understanding of M&A.

Financial Buying
The financial buyer has capital to invest and has identified either an industry or specific company that is particularly attractive to generate a high return on investment.
