Step-by-Step Acquisition

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Corporate Finance » Step-by-Step Acquisition

Step-by-Step Acquisition, also known as step acquisition, refers to the process of acquiring a controlling interest in a company incrementally over time, rather than in a single transaction. This method allows the acquirer to gradually increase its ownership stake, often leading to a revaluation of the investment at each step. It is commonly used in corporate finance to strategically gain control while managing financial exposure.
