M&A insurance is a special form of insurance that protects companies from financial loss during mergers, acquisitions and other forms of business transfer.
Companies that are actively seeking to grow or be acquired through acquisitions, investments and takeovers are exposed to numerous risks and uncertainties. Takeovers can be delayed or prevented by regulatory authorities, financing can fail, differences are discovered during negotiations that cannot be resolved.
The process of a company takeover is associated with high initial costs for both buyer and seller. M&A insurance covers a wide range of risks associated with an acquisition. This includes warranty and guarantee exclusions, tax disputes, environmental pollution, litigation and regulatory violations.
M&A insurance is particularly recommended for companies and industries that regularly carry out company transfers. These include, for example, private equity companies, venture capital firms and investment banks. But companies planning a strategic acquisition or dealing with the sale of parts of a company due to succession arrangements should also consider M&A insurance.
Insurance is also particularly relevant in industries where regulatory risks or environmental issues play a role, such as in the energy sector or when acquiring companies with historical legacy issues.
M&A insurance can also be beneficial for smaller companies, as they typically do not have the resources to manage business transfer risks on their own.
