Roll-up

Roll-up: A roll-up is a growth strategy in which an investor-backed platform acquires many smaller dental practices and combines them under shared management to build scale.

A roll-up is a growth strategy in which an investor-backed platform acquires many smaller dental practices and combines them under shared management to build scale.

Larger groups tend to command higher multiples than single practices, which is the arbitrage behind the strategy. Roll-ups are built from a platform acquisition followed by add-on acquisitions.
