A "roll-up" transaction is one in which smaller companies in a traditionally fragmented industry are acquired and merged to become part of larger business with expanded profits and payroll. At one time, when Wall Street's appetite for roll-up IPOs seemed insatiable, nearly every healthcare specialty and subspecialty was the target of one roll-up company or another.
