private equity firm18
A private equity firm buys with someone else's money and a clock already running. Their funds have a shelf life of roughly a decade, so they typically fund part of the deal with debt, want majority or full control of the business, and plan to sell you on again within three to seven years. None of that makes them a bad buyer — it just means the deal, and the years that follow it, look different from selling to someone who never plans to let go.

serial acquirer2
A serial acquirer buys businesses on repeat and holds them for good — resale was never the plan. There's no fund clock forcing an exit and no head office plan to fold your brand into theirs: most run on their own cash and keep your name, your team, and your day-to-day running as-is. For a founder, that's a different bet to a PE firm's timed flip or a strategic's full integration — you're picking a permanent home, not a line in someone else's exit deck.
