A major difference between a merger and acquisition is that, generally in a merger the companies that come together will be of similar size; however, in an acquisition, one company will be larger and stronger than the smaller company that is being acquired.

When a target company is acquired by another company, the target company ceases to exist in a legal sense and becomes part of the purchasing company.
