The Benefits of Acquisition It’s important to understand that an acquisition is distinct from a merger in several ways. First, an acquisition is the act of buying another business, whereas a merger is a process by which two companies become one company, though the ownership interests may differ. Second, acquisitions are complete takeovers, meaning that when you buy another company, you own all the ownership interests and can, therefore, make any decisions you and your company’s leadership wants to make.
