Want to understand the basics of an M&A roll up?

Company A pays $10k a month for a saas to help run their business

So do companies B,C, and D

You realize only one instance of that saas could service all the co’s

You buy them all and combine them

....
Day one you just increased net revenue by $30k

And... You have increased value of the new entity by $100k+

....

You find 3 other examples of ways to reduce cap ex and op ex

- uses one accountant
- brings media buying in house and hire 1 full time media buyer
- etc

...
These new changes save another $300k a year

- you now are netting an extra $300k a year

You’re new holding company has actually added $1M to its value

...
TADA! 🎉

You just added $1M of net worth and $300k in cash flow to your income statement
Oh and you bought the companies for $3M using debt

You pay it back, plus 10%

Now you put up $0 and made $700k
Per year* sorry pays $10k a year
