reverse takeover

In business, situation where a smaller company takes over a larger one. This may be a company's strategy to avoid a hostile takeover by selling itself to a white knight. The term is also used to describe the situation where a private company buys a publicly-listed company. This is often the most cost-effective method of obtaining a public listing because it avoids the expense associated with a flotation.
