Mergers and Acquisition: buying mortgage companies

A merger describes the highest form of strategic partnership in which two or more legally independent organizations merge together to one organization. The MBSD Group understands, through our many years of experience, the compatibility, the complex ability, the transfer of knowledge, power, and vision that will propel the new strategic objectives to the new merged organization. Our focus on the people, or commonly known as the “soft side” of the merger, is to prevent chaos and confusion and use change as a catalyst for success.

There are many reasons why mortgage companies are bought and sold. Each transaction is as unique as the companies and the parties involved. No matter what your reason for wanting to buy or sell, you would do well to get the advice of someone who has first hand experience. Our consultants have been involved both as a buyer and seller. They contain a wealth of knowledge and experience that can be brought to either side of any transaction.

MBSD recognizes the importance of developing a corporate vision when entertaining a merger or and acquisition. We believe that a merger without a clear and realistic vision may lead to not having a “good fit” for both the buying and selling companies. Identifying strengths and weakness of each is a critical factor in pre-merger analysis and a task that is not underemphasized by MBSD. Integrating cultures requires paying close attention to potential cultural misalignments and develop a strategy that represents an amalgamation of the best of both cultures.
