By Tiffany Gill


One wrong decision will lead into a problem or worse, bankruptcy. This is the life you are to face in the corporate world. By the time of crisis, a company usually have a merger from another company in order to save the fortunes they have established. And if you have a business and you think that it is too small to be noticed, then a merger and acquisition consulting might be best for you.

Merger and acquisition have six basic steps. These steps must be followed accordingly for there is no shortcut for this. Again, one single mistake will lead into any possible unmanageable problems. Entrepreneurship is also like an experiment that has a step by step ordered process.

Business assessment is the very first thing every company will face during the process. In this, both companies will undergo thorough evaluation and examination. Histories such as corporate culture, financial reports, the share holders and the heads, and any other business related stuff will be checked. This is because such factors might be good or bad for the future merge.

After the deep evaluation, one of the companies will create a proposal, this is the next phase of the M and A. Proposal must include the new set of corporate head, target market, product improvisation, other marketing plans and anything that should be proposed. Representative from both company could even formulate if they wish to have a merge.

The proposal needs at least a quorum vote to be approved and once the proposal is accepted by the share holders, A planning exit will be follow. This probably takes time to those who are into group of companies. On this, before an exit will be held, the financial documents will be checked and other financial issues. But if the number of votes is less than a half plus one, then there will be a reformulation of proposal or no merger will happen.

And then once the planning is done, there will be the deal structuring. The new company will do the initiative to create a new marketing structure and plans. This is to say that the share holders together with the heads, they will make a reformation and so here they will be deliberating on the things to remain and what to leave behind.

Then the integration will proceed which all important documents will be signed and filed. This is when contract signing will be held. In contract signing, both must read thoroughly on the agreement especially with the scopes and limitations of the merger. If one party will not agree, then there will be a reformulation of the deal.

Operating of venture will then proceed. This will be the time that they will put everything they risk in the market. This is to see if the expectations were met or not. Everything will function as what the agreement has said.

Even if you have already known the fundamental steps, a merger and acquisition consulting is still a necessity. Phases mentioned must be explained thoroughly especially to those who are not business tycoons. This is a critical topic that only business experts and lawyers can discuss such effectively.
