Mergers and Acquisitions

An M&A is a term used to describe the consolidation of companies and/or their assets through different types of financial transactions.

A merger is the combination of two or more firms to form a new legal entity under the banner of one name.

An acquisition is when one company buys another outright, hence they acquire it.
