One way many businesses expand is through mergers and acquisitions. Some start-up businesses actually use the potential for being acquired by a larger company, which will give investors a large payday, as a way to attract investors.

The acquiring company can also benefit from the infusion of new talent with new ideas on how to improve operations.
