Mergers and acquisitions are transformative opportunities for growth, innovation, and market expansion. Yet, behind the headlines, the reality is sobering: 60% of M&A deals fail to achieve their intended goals, with integration missteps cited as the primary culprit. Why do so many promising deals falter after the ink dries?

In the world of mergers and acquisitions, few strategies stir as much interest, or risk, as the “paperclip rollup.” The rollup strategy approach involves acquiring numerous small businesses within a fragmented industry and consolidating them under one umbrella, often using stock as the primary form of consideration.  The idea?
