Merger & Acquisition - pre & post support

The benefit of engaging an expert HR Outsourcing provider throughout an M&A deal, for both buyer and seller, cannot be understated. Optimal’s Mergers and Acquisitions services provides guidance and insight prior to the merger and before the actual transaction closes by developing a plan of how to quickly absorb or stand up those employees. Our extensive experience in supporting M&A’s can help you to comply with local laws and requirements and provide a plan to help deal with any unexpected issues that may occur during the process. During the planning of the integration programme, a good HR & Organisational Design Consultant can help you look at the impact the integration will have on the business and on the existing and new employees, how you should approach this phase and they can work with you to look at the new model, get the structures right, identify how any cost efficiencies will arise and at what point and work through the cultural impacts the transaction may have. We have over 15 years working with clients on M&A programmes across a wide variety of sectors including financial services, manufacturing & engineering, legal services, Retail, Social Housing and Insurance Services to name just a few.  If you are thinking about buying, selling or merging your business and need some guidance, give us a call on 0330 0881857.
