The Institute of Voluntary Action Research have published ‘Thinking about… merger’, in partnership with Bates Wells & Braithwaite solicitors.
This publication is written for organisations considering merger as a possible option.
‘Thinking about… merger’ is not a guide to financial aspects of merger, nor is it a step-by-step ‘toolkit’.
Instead, it brings together the experiences of a wide variety of voluntary organisations and advisors that have contemplated or carried out mergers to highlight different dimensions of ‘thinking about merger’: reasons for thinking about merger, stages in the process of merger (including legal aspects) and what can help to make a merger work.
