Staffing company owners and management are always striving for growth. Historically, most companies grow organically through their internal sales and growing their sales and recruiting teams. Mergers & Acquisitions is the natural next step to continue the growth cycle, the question is how to get started and what to look for when jumping into the market as a buyer.

Our panel of Staffing Industry M&A veterans will give their “playbook” on how they counsel their clients on the buy-side of the staffing industry. They will take a deep and detailed dive into how to get started, what to look for in prospective sellers and what the process looks like during the buy cycle.

For larger firms, the options to exit are straight-forward and plentiful — sign-up with one of the many traditional investment bankers for a retainer of $10,000 a month and pay a success fee starting at $250,000. But what about buyers and sellers of firms where the traditional fee structure doesn’t make sense?

 

We will kick-off the presentation with a primer on how firms are typically valued and the legal aspects of a M&A transaction. We will then provide an overview of “Marketplace” process which significantly expands opportunities for both buyers and seller of IT & Engineering Staffing firms while dramatically lowering transaction costs. We will conclude with an update on the extraordinary response the program has received to date.
