In case, of NBFC registration, you file a fresh application and have a completely new team of management. While in case of an NBFC takeover, there may be a conflict when you try to retain the members of the target company.

When you file an application of NBFC registration, you have the knowledge of all liabilities and its rules & regulations. While when you are planning to acquire the target company, there is a risk of not being aware of the hidden liabilities, which causes a problem in the process.

If you are thinking or planning to takeover NBFC, then you must know the following consequences of the process-

·        Amount paid for goodwill is often less as compared to its actual price

·        Conflict in new management

·        Cultural clashes in two companies

·        Reduce employee’s morale

·        Hidden liabilities of the target company

Due to the above mentioned consequences we always suggest you to apply for NBFC registration in place of NBFC takeover.
