Fusion-acquisitionL’expression fusion-acquisition ou fusions et acquisitions (parfois aussi appelée « Fusac », ou en anglais M&A, un acronyme pour mergers and acquisitions) signifie le regroupement d'entreprises et recouvre les différents aspects du rachat du capital d'une entreprise, d'une division d'entreprise, voire d'actifs, par une autre entreprise. Chaque opération est une transaction habituellement majoritaire, ce qui signifie qu'elle entraîne un échange financier entre un ou plusieurs vendeurs et un acheteur et une modification des droits de propriété de la cible.
BusinessBusiness is the practice of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services). It is also "any activity or enterprise entered into for profit." Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business. If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner's personal possessions.
Discounted cash flowThe discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, in finance, is a method used to value a security, project, company, or asset, that incorporates the time value of money. Discounted cash flow analysis is widely used in investment finance, real estate development, corporate financial management, and patent valuation. Used in industry as early as the 1700s or 1800s, it was widely discussed in financial economics in the 1960s, and U.S. courts began employing the concept in the 1980s and 1990s.
