Assisting Acquirers

by a searcher from Dartmouth College

Is the preferred play to go after a single target or bundle several similar businesses and roll them up into a series of acquisitions?

I've been working with a PE firm to position their bootstrapped assets for acquisitions and was curious if people are going after the whale or also have an appetite for rounding up smaller fish.

So many variables in this scenario - Scale, geography, market size/type. Most HC deals I see prefer single targets with established reach - avoids integration headaches from many smaller practices
