Different Kinds Of Asset Acquisition Strategies

By Margaret Sanders


When one enters the world of business or finance, one of the objectives that one would commonly hear would be growth or acquiring of assets. Now, asset acquisition is a very important part of any business because it ensures the growth and stability of a company. Here are a few things that one should know about this kind of growth strategy.

As already mentioned, relying purely on sales of operations of the company is known as organic growth while the other money making method is through investing in assets. Now, the thing about relying purely on sales is that there are days when sales will be low, which is why a lot of companies acquire assets too. This allows them to follow the principle of not putting everything in one basket.

What most companies would do when they execute this strategy would be to be the stocks or ownership of other businesses. Stocks of other companies are the easiest to buy, especially the ones that are publicly listed. Asset managers would usually use the capital gains or the dividend gains of these stocks for the overall profit.

Now, the smaller businesses would usually just do this as a way to earn some side income for the company along with sales. This is a great strategy because it ensures that there is still money that is going into the company even if the sales drop down. For some businesses, it can be a safety procedure that to assure the business that it can still pay some of the fixed and variable expenses needed to keep the company running.

At the same time there are companies that would really do this as their main line of revenues. First would be the asset management companies such as the fund management firms and the hedge funds that solely just invest in mediums to grow money for their clients. Aside from stocks and bonds, they would also acquire ownership of other smaller companies or ventures in order to make more money for their investors.

Other reasons for companies acquiring ownership of other companies would be for the purpose of expansion, which is pretty common for the bigger companies. A lot of big companies try to eat up smaller companies as they feel that these small companies can be added to their portfolio. It is also a way to eliminate the competition but making it a win win scenario for both parties.

There are also some very big companies who would acquire the ownership of other companies that can be found in other industries. Development companies can open up a holdings company and enter other fields such as banking, hospitality, and many more. The big corporation will act as the mother company and holds all of the ownership of the smaller companies.

This is a very good strategy that most businesses do in order to earn some good money. Now, it can either be done as a side income or it can be done as one of the main operations of a business. This would really depend on on the size of the business as well as the purpose the business would have for doing acquisitions.
