The act of merging two or more businesses to one enterprise is called the amalgamation. It normally occurs when companies form a merger with an aim of creating better market share, lessening competition or enhancing efficiency in operations. In an amalgamation, organizations can be fully created or can be absorbed by another organization. The newly formed or surviving company has assets, liabilities and operations transferred to it. This kind of strategy assists businesses to grow customer base, grow their financial strength as well as gain economies of scale. Amalgamation is prevalent in the restructuring of corporations which must be approved by law, asset appraisal as well as shareholders of the companies involved.
