Roll-Up Investing

What's a Roll-Up? Most may not know the answer. It's just another thing to look out for when investing in the stock market among all the other things to look out for. A Roll-Up occurs when a company purchases other smaller businesses and expands by intergrating these companies into their own business. It may be a good way to expand but it's also very hard to manage which is why many go belly up, making it a risky business investing in them.
