An acquisition can help you move quickly to take advantage of an opportunity. It may mean moving into a new market, opening up new channels of distribution, gaining a complementary set of technology, or entering a new geographic region. It can be a very effective way of stepping down on the corporate accelerator.

At the same time, mergers and acquisitions can be tricky and difficult to execute successfully. Tricky in making sure the fit is right, from a business and a cultural perspective. Difficult in aligning the capital structures and solving the legal, regulatory and other constraints quickly and securely so that the combination occurs in a timely fashion and you can focus on building the new business. These challenges are all the more daunting when the merger or acquisition occurs across borders.
