INTRODUCTION
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can be defined as consolidation of companies. The two word are often used in place of another but they aren't precisely the same. Differentiating the two terms, Mergers is a kind of business strategy where two companies combine to form one, while acquisition is a kind of business model where a more booming company takes over another company. M&A is one of the major aspects of corporate finance world. The general idea behind M&A is that when two separate companies join together the result is more attractive and valuable compared to being on an individual stand. With the aim of wealth maximization and business expansion companies always evaluate different opportunities through the route of merger or acquisition.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) provide organizations, businesses both large and small, with an opportunity to accelerate strategic growth, through purchasing of other asset which grants the aquirer access to intellectual property, human capital and host of other assets effortlessly and at faster rate.
However, the current traditional M&A business and finance process is highly centralized, outdated and fragmented to the extent that it takes years for a successful M&A consensus and transactions are concluded and also buyers or seller's in the industry has to pay a very huge sum to intermediaries to either asses the products they are buying or to locate a buyer for their products, this has been the bane of this great industry. To date, there has not been an efficient way for
sellers to find buyers who can carry the torch of a faltering business. In turn, buyers
usually do not have a consistent source of deal-flow outside of their inner circle, even when a buyer and seller do manage to find each other, the process itself which is the main challenge here is unjustly complex, involving many intermediaries such as corporate lawyers, investment banks, financial advisors and assessor's, calling the service of such intermediaries comes at a very high cost, this process inhibit many start ups with low funds which might have been an attractive acquisition target if only it had access to the right buyers and expertise. Other M&A challenges include
Pricing difficulties, arriving at an acceptable valuations is very difficult in the present M&A process.
