Repay Holdings Gets Unsolicited Buyout Bid From Forager Capital

That niche focus has historically been viewed as both a competitive moat and a potential acquisition rationale for larger platforms seeking to expand their addressable markets. Whether Forager's proposal translates into a completed deal will depend heavily on price, financing, and how Repay's board chooses to engage.
