English term

around the margins

English Bus/Financial Management mergers
What are margins here... limits or just margins??

Problems that can be fixed through focused interventions. When you're operating in this realm, you're fixing problems around the margins - issues that are serious enough to demand attention, but not in the deal-breaking realm.

not central

As the text says, not in the deal-breaking realm. A problem that would break a deal would be central. Problems around the margins are less important, "marginal", basically #2b here:
