Corporate Transactions are large-scale financial deals between corporations, including M&A, joint ventures, and asset sales. They are often complex and require detailed legal and financial due diligence.
These are usually high-value and complex; hence, they conventionally involve significant financial involvement. Corporate transactions refer to several activities that help manage growth reconfiguration or realignments in the marketplace for the companies concerned.
Characteristics of Corporate Transactions
- Strategic nature: By and large, corporate transactions need not be part and parcel of usual business practices but are, instead, performance-oriented practices directed towards long-run strategic goals such as increased market share, new markets, or new technologies.
- Significant financial impact: Such transactions involve vast amounts of capital and, therefore, are of maximum importance to the company's well-being and direction in the future in the financial sense.
- Complexity: Corporate transactions typically require detailed legal, financial, and operational analysis. Most corporate transactions involve multiple participants, including investors, shareholders, regulatory authorities, and lawyers.
- Formal process: It would be a formal process, with negotiations, contracts, regulatory approval, and due diligence involved.
Types of Corporate Transactions
