A corporate action in which a company buys most, if not all, of the target company's ownership stakes in order to assume control of the target firm. Acquisitions are often made as part of a company's growth strategy whereby it is more beneficial to take over an existing firm's operations and niche compared to expanding on its own. Acquisitions are often paid in cash, the acquiring company's stock or a combination of both.

A small company with extra capital may use an acquisition strategy to gain a competitive advantage. An acquisition strategy entails purchasing another company, or one or more product lines of that company. For example, a small grocery retailer on the east coast may purchase a comparable grocery chain in the Midwest to expand its operations.

Is one of the best strategies to grow small or medium companies.

Synergistic acquisition is not limited to buying direct competitors. Mid-size companies can efficiently grow by buying related or complimentary companies. It is quite common for a company to buy another to take better advantage of each other's distribution channels. For example, a candy manufacturer with several retail outlets, might purchase a specialty food mail order company. The buying company could then use the mail order company's distribution channels to sell its candy. If it were a really good fit, it could also offer some of the mail order firm's products through its retail outlets.

A type of buyer in an acquisition that has a specific reason for wanting to purchase the company. Strategic buyers look for companies that will create a synergy with their existing businesses. Because strategic buyers may actually get more value out of an acquisition than the intrinsic value of the company being acquired, strategic buyers will usually be willing to pay a premium price in order to have the deal go through. Also known as synergistic buyers.
