Mergers | Acquisitions

Fitness Business mergers and acquisitions take place regularly in the fitness industry.

• Small businesses are being swallowed by large deep-pocketed businesses. If you have a private gym in a great location then there is a franchise gym out to topple you.
• Fitness Equipment companies are buying their competition due to limits on equipment design and imagination.

By definition, a merger is the combining of two or more business entities. When people use the term merger, they mean a “merger of equals” — two companies of the same size deciding to go forward in business as one.

The main reason companies merge is to save on the costs of production, particularly in a merger of former competitors. A merger also can generate capital to enter markets or launch products the companies would not be able to do as separate entities. Additionally, companies may possess complementary best practice and technical knowledge that makes it easier for them to compete in the market.
