Tuck in Acquisitions Increase Revenue A tuck-in acquisition involves the acquisition of a smaller company and integrating it into the acquirers platform. The acquirer is usually a large company that possesses the large infrastructure that the smaller company lacks. The smaller company usually has a strong owner, but lacks the infrastructure, administrative resources, and/or access to capital required to facilitate growth. This makes it a potential candidate for absorption into a larger companys platform. The acquirer pursues the acquisition of smaller companies with the goal of increasing its revenues, market share, and resources. Some examples of resources that the acquirer ismay be interested in include intellectual property, proprietary technology, and complementary product lines.
