English term or phrase: platform company
Nie wiem jak fachowo przetłumaczyć 'platform company':

A platform company is a company that a Private equity group (PEG) views—when investing through acquisition in a new industry or market space—as a starting point for follow-on acquisitions in the same area

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_company

A platform company is the initial acquisition made by a private equity firm in a specific industry or investment type. This acquisition will serve as the foundation for a roll-up of other companies acquired in the same industry. Most private equity firms will find four to six platform companies for each fund, and then grow these platform companies both organically and through acquisition.
A platform company usually has the following characteristics:
Has a strong, experienced management team with a proven track record of growth;
Is usually a top player in a well defined growing niche market; and
Is a larger company with defined systems and standard operating procedures (SOP) that match the investment criteria of the private equity firm.
Platform companies are also referred to as "strategic private equity" because they share the characteristics of both a strategic and financial buyer.
