The rise of 'roll-ups' and rethinking mergers and acquisitions

In the era of roll-ups, success no longer hinges solely on the act of buying but rather on the ability to effectively integrate and extract value from acquired entities

As companies embark on ambitious acquisition sprees, success increasingly hinges on a revised approach to the way these acquisitions are integrated and consumed.

For companies with an established market presence looking to grow quickly, the strategy of ‘roll-ups’ has emerged as a powerful force reshaping mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

A roll-up is a growth strategy where a private equity firm or venture capital group invests in consolidating two or (many) more companies — often referred to as "bolt-on acquisitions".
