Infographic: 4 Main Types of M&As
M&As are best viewed as a spectrum, where one end is a company completely absorbing the other, while on the other end two relatively equal entities joining forces. In reality, however, the latter rarely happens. Usually, one entity has some degree of an upper hand during the M&A negotiation process.
There are four primary types of M&As, which can be categorized based on the nature of the deal negotiated and the relationship between the businesses involved. Each of these categories can be spun off into myriad other types.
The infographic below features the main types and some common sin-off structures as well.
