Evaluating PEOs During M&A, Featuring Donna Hare with Insperity

What PE firms should know about professional employer organizations

Donna Hare, a senior business performance consultant with Insperity, once again joins ACG President and CEO Tom Bohn to continue a discussion on professional employer organizations (PEOs), delving into what private equity firms should know about PEOs in the context of a deal.

Hare explains why it’s important for private equity buyers to look closely at a target company’s PEO during a deal and costly liabilities a PE firm can inherit from a company with a PEO in place.

Hare also explains some of the pitfalls she’s experienced in undesirable PEO arrangements and shares what PEO considerations M&A professionals should take into account during a transaction, and more.
