Companies that merge and that is a acquired and acquiring have to go through such a tedious and long process from the top of the pyramid until the lowest of it. I was asked to comment on such activities even when i was a consultant before. My answer still stands as this practice are always unpredictable. It's unpredictable to the second layer of the pyramid until the lowest. Everyone can make assumptions and speculate but the only people who knows whats gonna happen are the BOD or the board of directors.
Obviously the BOD has to know because the process will involve much of their money and if anything happens beyond their knowledge, they will definitely withdraw their money/shares and this will cause a sudden drop in equity and share prices. The speculation will go on until the merge is stabilized which can take years. It will take just a few months to finalised the transaction but the whole transition will take ages.
Merging are revenue focused. After the merge they will concentrate to do anything and everything to boost the revenue. This is why we always see job cuts after merging, they have excess staffs, they want to reduce overheads and other liabilities that caused a burden on the revenue.
Sweet promises are often given by companies that are merging to their employees
They tell that everything will be alright and actually they are telling the truth, it is gonna be alright but for the people that have a strong stand in the company, the category of must stay, must groom and must change in employees are immediately put to the test...however this is all business..nothing personal...

Places of gold
Many has asked me on opning businesses in the UK, yes i have spen most of my life in the UK and i know a lot of people has gone to UK to get easy money by either working or opening a business. I consider these people are just plain selfish and not knowing the true business acumen. Sorry to say that because true business people would approach untapped market and create a niche market for their own.
Places ideal for businessses are places that arehighly populated. we work on volume for this but you have to understand the governing law, intellectual proprty law, business law for you to understand more
A come back
It's been a while i've written any post in this part of the blog, it's because i haven't been actively involved in any business transaction and it's so lame and boring not doing so. However i had talks with a few people that recognise and still remembers my contribution to the business world, and i shall write i can remember from my spontaneous remarks. Opportunity...
We seek business opportunity like we seeka new beginning. How do we starta new beginning, without a doubt in business the most crucial thing is money and excess money. What is defined by money is the money we will use for capital, this is pure money you're compiled, you've gained from loans, investors and etc and to be used for working capital. Buy stock or anything for the startup and the conitinuing of the business.
Once you start you can do a full set of accounts and financial planning, thinking after one month, yyou'll get your clients/customers and buy your items or services and you'll get your money rolling and pay your employees and yourself. Being a business propritor is not a walk in the park, in that money or working capital is your salary but on top of that is pther people's salary. Your money is in the excess money which other words is your saving.
As business is a risky thing i had to use the terminology of excess money as our saving account are not open to cater stupid ventures and obviously until it's not stupid which i after we've overcome allt he startup obstacle...just a start
