Other than just the traditional buy out strategy, can someone point me to some guides on roll up / consolidation plays and or case studies? I worked with a client last year who had a history of successful take privates then roll up and exit thru IPO and I’d like to learn more about the process.
How many firms participate in this? Is it a harder group to enter? Where can I learn more?
