How does a merger or acquisition work?
Complex topics explained simply and visually—that’s what Fini, Fineva’s comic character, stands for. With its new comic explainer format, Fineva makes complex economic topics easy to understand, concise, and visually accessible for clients, partners, and interested audiences.
For employees, clients, and business partners alike, key questions arise:
What will change? And what will stay the same?
In this first comic explainer video, Fini explains step by step how a merger or acquisition typically works. The video highlights the key phases of a transaction, makes potential changes tangible, and shows which structures often remain unchanged.
Typical phases of a merger or acquisition:
- Strategic preparation
Definition of objectives, initial analyses, and assessment of strategic fit. - Review phase (due diligence)
Analysis of financials, legal framework, organizational structure, and risks of the target company. - Contractual closing
Negotiation, drafting, and signing of the contractual agreements. - Integration and implementation
Alignment of structures, processes, teams, and corporate cultures. - Stabilization and further development
Optimization of the new organization and sustainable embedding of the changes.
The new comic explainer format is intentionally short, clear, and visual, focusing on what matters most. Throughout the year, additional videos will be released in which Fini explains various topics and processes from the world of Fineva.
