Abstract: Abstract Mergers are considered to be an instrument leading to numerous positive effects, such as increasing the market value of a company, gaining new opportunities and the possibility of entering new markets. Mergers realized in a group of businesses aim to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Our survey is focused on the influence of mergers in companies operating in the finance and the insurance sectors. Quantification was carried out with the aid of five indicators—return on assets, return on equity, total indebtedness, leverage and current ratio, and on companies belonging to the groups of micro, small, medium and large companies. The result led to the conclusion that mergers have a positive effect on the group of micro and small companies.
