Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is a general term that describes the consolidation of companies or assets through various types of financial transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, purchase of assets, and management acquisitions.

The term M&A also refers to the desks at financial institutions that deal in such activity.

• The terms "mergers" and "acquisitions" are often used interchangeably, but they differ in meaning.
• In an acquisition, one company purchases another outright.
• A merger is the combination of two firms, which subsequently form a new legal entity under the banner of one corporate name.
• A company can be objectively valued by studying comparable companies in an industry and using metrics.
• When one company takes over another and establishes itself as the new owner, the purchase is called an acquisition
• On the other hand, a merger describes two firms, of approximately the same size, that join forces to move forward as a single new entity, rather than remain separately owned and operated
• A purchase deal will also be called a merger when both CEOs agree that joining together is in the best interest of both of their companies.
