The process of finding a suitable acquisition opportunity is often an unorganized affair for companies which consider the chance to purchase greater than the benefits from acquisition. Shareholders are usually the driving force behind the need to invest in new companies. Managers need to access all aspects of a possible acquisition deal, from both commercial and financial aspects based on solid information provided by advisers.
