Overname

Overname refers to the process of acquiring or taking over ownership or control of an asset, business, or entity. In a business context, it often involves one company purchasing another, effectively transferring operational control and responsibilities from the original owners or managers to the new ones. This can include the buying of properties, stocks, or entire companies, and may also involve the assumption of debts and liabilities associated with the acquired entity. Overname can occur through various means, including mergers, acquisitions, or consolidations, and is a common strategic move in corporate environments to enhance market presence, expand product offerings, or achieve economies of scale.
