When you buy out a company you can tend to do that fairly cheap vs building it yourself.
When you buy another company in the same sector you automatically remove a competitor
When you buy a company you automatically increase your market share
Any company you buy you get ownership of their IP rights which can open your business to new product offerings
If you are not familiar with others taking this approach then you should research General Electric, they mastered the approach and grew their business into a Fortune 50 operation.
What I posted was an example of businesses that use acquisitions routinely to expand their operations.
Some folks on this forum do not seem to understand that it's a pretty common practice.
