Mergers and acquisitions
Companies often rely on TSAs to transition talent during M&A deals. But TSAs require intricate collaboration between buyer and seller—adding to your workload, increasing costs, and delaying talent transitions. Avoid TSAs and make your life easier by letting an employer of record (EOR) handle onboarding, payroll, benefits, and local HR support.
Acquihires
Bringing in a large influx of new employees does wonders for scaling operations. It also saddles you with new HR burdens. Lighten the pressure by working with an EOR partner. We streamline onboarding, offer on-the-ground support for talent across borders, ensure compliance, and reduce the costs of administering benefits—no matter where your new people are located.
Divestitures
For fast-growing businesses, staying agile sometimes requires offloading business units. But divestitures bring their own set of challenges, from offboarding talent to compliantly discontinuing payroll and benefits. Partnering with an EOR simplifies the process while keeping you on the right side of local regulations so you and your business stay nimble while growing.

What is a TSA?
A transition service agreement, or TSA, is an arrangement in which the seller agrees to support the buyer while transferring talent during an M&A. TSAs are utilized because moving talent from one company to another is a challenging, complex process.
Under a TSA, the seller will provide services like HR, benefits administration, payroll, and accounting until the buyer is ready to assume those responsibilities. TSAs add cost and time to talent transitions during M&A transactions, which is why companies often look for alternatives, such as partnering with an employer of record (EOR).

How does an EOR help M&A deals?
An employer of record (EOR) helps companies avoid the costly and tedious process of using a transition service agreement (TSA) during M&A deals. The EOR handles onboarding, payroll, benefits, and HR support so the buyer does not have to rely on the seller for those functions—and can thus avoid signing a TSA. By employing talent on behalf of the buyer, the EOR also relieves companies of needing to set up entities before integrating new talent populations.
An EOR also helps companies stay compliant during M&A transactions, saving employers the hassle of researching local labor laws and regulations around the world. Some EORs also review contracts to ensure IP protection and restrictive covenants, mitigating risk for talent and employer.
