The Smartest Businesses to Acquire Next

In This Episode of Business Lunch: Roland Frasier breaks down simple, practical ways to grow by buying the right businesses.
He explains the difference between horizontal integration (buying competitors to grow fast) and vertical integration (buying suppliers, distributors, affiliates, or outsourced partners to capture more profit). He also talks about using acquisitions to add recurring revenue and smooth out seasonal cash flow, plus how buying intellectual property can spark innovation and create a competitive edge.
The core message: identify where money is leaking in your supply chain or distribution, find who owns it, and consider acquiring them.
