What this buyer pool prices for
Strategic buyers - operators in adjacent geographies, larger competitors, or corporate consolidators - price for synergies and capability fill. They tend to discount integration cost and overlap risk but pay above market when there's clear strategic fit (key customer relationship, license, geography, technician/professional team). Pricing is competitive with PE for fee-viable deals; weaker on sub-scale acquisitions.
