Interests of the parties when participating in business purchase and merger (M&A)

In the face of globalization, many companies must carry out business mergers and sales to strengthen their international presence and expand their market share in new markets. When participating in M&A activities, the parties have their own purposes to bring the most benefits to their company. So, what are the purposes and benefits of M&A? LS Law Firm would like to state the following!

Purpose and interests of the buyer when participating in M&A activities

First, M&A is an effective and controlled form of excess capital investment.

When investing capital in M&A activities, the buyer not only holds shares but also has control over the selling company. Therefore, the buyer is entitled to control how the selling company uses its capital. This helps the buyer to take the right of initiative, the investment of capital with profit or loss is also partly based on the decision of the buyer. This point is different from the normal form of capital investment, which is that the enterprise only gives up capital and the profit or loss depends on the business activities of the invested company.

Second, help increase revenue.

M&A is a form of investment that a buyer can make in order to increase revenue through the acquisition of part or all of its shares, merger or acquisition of another company with potential in the market and relying on that company’s business to bring revenue to its own company.

Thirdly, helping to reduce investment costs.

By making the most of the resources available from the seller such as machinery, manpower, market share, distribution channels of the target company, the buyer can save a lot of costs after participating in M&A activities.

Fourthly, increasing the influence of enterprises in the market through expanding geographic markets and products.

Through M&A, the business will occupy a large market share, which can expand geographic markets as well as product markets and have greater influence.

Fifth, reduce competitors.

After the companies carry out a successful M&A transaction, the buyer will have partial or total control over the seller’s company. Therefore, the competitor of the buyer will be reduced.

Purpose and interests of the seller when participating in M&A activities

First, get the fastest profit from the company. 

When the M&A is done successfully, the seller will have the opportunity to reap some or all of the profit from the company without having to spend a lot of time. Because when participating in M&A activities, buyers are often companies with strong capital sources and have a position in the market, so the seller will reap profits quickly in a short time without waiting for the buyer to mobilize capital.

Secondly, it is possible to terminate the operation of the company by expedited procedure.

Thanks to M&A activities, the seller can give full control to the buyer immediately after completing the procedures and terminate the related rights and obligations without having to solve the problems such as debts,… because it has been assigned to the buyer.

Third, maximize the profit from the valuation of all tangible and intangible assets of the company.

When carrying out M&A activities, the seller may sell all of its company’s assets to the buyer. Therefore, you can maximize your profits by selling your tangible and intangible assets.

Fourthly, it is a tool to develop the business from the capital of the acquired or consolidated company.

Therefore, some benefits that the seller may benefit from the buyer when implementing M&A are financial resources. Because after implementing M&A, the company’s finances will be significantly increased thanks to the capital that the buyer has spent, in addition, when implementing M&A, the seller also enjoys some benefits from technology, brands,… that the buyer has available. Therefore, many businesses and economic corporations are always interested in M&A transactions.
