Businesses grow organically and inorganically. Acquisitions of companies or of specified assets or undertaking have become an accepted means of getting into the next growth phase for companies. For those selling these undertakings, the reasons could be many – realizing value for investments made, decreasing debt, reorganizing business to dispose non-core assets and units etc.

While acquiring any business you may consider acquiring a particular company, group of assets or undertaking for a variety of reasons – the capitalized value of assets and its future potential, the business generated from those assets or the value that could be realized from the business, assets, products, services and team by integrating the same into the company of the acquirer.
