Private Equity roll-ups are very active across industries. Few are talking about what makes them actually work. From healthcare clinics to software platforms to industrial services, private equity is doubling down on the strategy of bringing smaller businesses together under one roof. It’s not hard to see why they’re attractive: ✔️ Scale creates stronger bargaining power and efficiencies ✔️ Shared services can reduce overhead and boost margins ✔️ A larger platform often opens the door to new markets and capabilities However success isn’t automatic. Roll-ups can quickly lose momentum if: ⚠️ Integration planning is an afterthought ⚠️ Cultures and systems clash ⚠️ The growth story relies on financial engineering instead of operational improvement Having been on the inside of roll-up plays—acquiring, integrating, and transforming businesses—I’ve seen both the upside and the pain points. The difference between success and disappointment usually comes down to how well execution matches the deal thesis. 👉 I am curious, if you were approached by a roll-up platform as a seller, what would be your top concern—valuation, culture fit, or integration risk? #BusinessOwners #Entrepreneurship #GrowthStrategy #ValueCreation #BusinessTransformation https://lnkd.in/gvmTe_aR

Q3 2025 — 100 Notable Platform Acquisitions (Study Results) According to a third-party study by PrivateEquityInfo, 100 notable platform acquisitions were completed in Q3 2025 across the U.S. middle market. The findings highlight what we continue to see firsthand: strong, disciplined buyer demand for founder-led companies with recurring revenue, management depth, and operational maturity. Key takeaways from the study: 📍 Geographic Reach: Transactions spanned more than 30 states, with the heaviest activity in Texas, California, New York, and Florida. 🏭 Active Sectors: The most active industries were business and industrial services, healthcare, manufacturing, software, and environmental services. 💰 Leading Sponsors: Private equity firms such as GTCR, Insight Partners, Thoma Bravo, and BlackRock Private Equity were among the most active platform acquirers. 🔁 Resilient Market: Platform investments continue to attract robust valuations, underscoring investors’ preference for scalable, process-driven companies that can anchor future consolidation strategies. These data points reaffirm that the appetite for quality platforms remains healthy despite broader market caution, and well-positioned owner-operators continue to capture premium terms.

Răzvan Butucaru, Partner, Financial Services & Advisory Leader, participated last week in the Financing & IPO Summit. During the panel discussion dedicated to international capital in 2025, Răzvan shared valuable insights on when companies should start considering M&A opportunities: “The M&A market offers a strong alternative to traditional financing, and the right time for a company to explore such opportunities depends on its stage of development. In the early stage, entrepreneurs transform ideas into viable businesses, often facing high costs and limited revenues - a period when business angels and venture capital funds typically step in. During the growth phase, as companies gain market traction and expand their teams, their financing needs increase, but so does their visibility and attractiveness to investors. Private equity funds can bring not only needed financing during this phase but also know-how to further continue the business development. At the maturity stage, when the business is stable and well-established, companies can explore new products, new markets, strategic acquisitions, or even exit opportunities - each requiring a tailored financing approach.” The Financial Advisory team at Forvis Mazars in Romania partners with companies throughout their growth journey, guiding them in identifying the right financial and strategic opportunities to reach their full potential. Thank you, VERTIK Group & Daniela Maior, PhD, for the invitation! #ForvisMazarsInRomania #Financing #MergersAndAcquisitions #IPO #BusinessGrowth #FinancialServices

According to PitchBook, 74% of all buyout activity in Q3 2025 came from add-on acquisitions, slightly above the five-year average. As platform investments become harder to close, investors are scaling through add-ons to unlock operational synergies, cost control, and incremental value creation. For GPs, this strategy offers more than growth. It provides control. By expanding within known markets, sponsors can manage risk while deepening their competitive moat. At Farao Solutions, we help investors turn this idea into a process. Our team builds workflows that map entire ecosystems around portfolio companies, identifying suppliers, channel partners, and smaller competitors that could be integrated into existing platforms. By combining data collection, automation, and structured signal tracking, we make ongoing add-on origination systematic and measurable. In today’s environment, deal flow is not only about volume. It is about precision, timing, and repeatability. Add-ons offer all three when your sourcing system is designed to find them. 📈 Source: PitchBook Q3 2025 US PE Breakdown #DealOrigination #AddOnAcquisitions #PrivateEquity #MergersAndAcquisitions #FaraoSolutions #PitchBook #tuckin #marketmaps #sourcing #dealsourcing #businessdevelopment
