Solutions to make M&A deals run smoothly
No matter what type of M&A activity your company is anticipating, you’ll have immediate operational needs. Deadlines are often non-negotiable — with inaction creating a risk of compliance breaches, employee fallout, or failure to meet deal commitments.
Meanwhile, employing workers in countries that are unfamiliar to your HR and finance teams can cause compliance blind spots that lead to legal penalties, fines, and a damaged reputation.
Safeguard Global mitigates these risks, so M&A activity runs more smoothly. With our wide range of solutions — covering employer of record, payroll, HR services, entity management and more — our experts can create a specialized package to fit your needs through all phases of your M&A deal.
Quick Look
M&A Challenges, solved
An intuitive, all-in-one platform combined with “human when it matters” expertise solves common M&A problems.
Get expert advice
Problem: No playbook
Because each M&A deal is unique, your HR and finance teams may lack the experience or standard operating protocols for your particular situation.
Solution: Partner with experts
Work with seasoned experts who understand how workforces and global compliance may be impacted by various merger types.
Stop worrying about compliance
Problem: Staying compliant in foreign countries
Cross-border acquisitions introduce unfamiliar regulations, misclassification risks, and local nuances in doing business. Some of these could incur heavy financial penalties.
Solution: Remove compliance blind spots
Our experts handle local labor laws, taxes, contracts, and regulatory filings — as well as provide proactive guidance and peace of mind.
Achieve compliant employment in a quick timeframe
Problem: Tight schedules
Deadlines in transition services agreements (TSAs) can limit the amount of time teams have to ensure workforce compliance in new regions.
Solution: Employ in full compliance, even without an entity
Safeguard Global’s Employer of Record (EOR) solution can help bridge the gap while new entities are being set up and supports compliant employment in nearly 190 countries.
Centralize workforce data
Problem: Low visibility
Multiple HR, payroll, and finance systems create complexity, poor data visibility, and high compliance risk. Leaders often lack tools that help them analyze their workforce, understand full headcounts, or formulate strategies.
Solution: Use a unified system with an analytics dashboard
With our EOR solution, streamline your onboarding and payroll, see all of your employee data in one secure location, and get the analytics you need to see a full picture.
Reduce disruption
Problem: Employee disruption and attrition
Uncertainty about roles, pay, and benefits undermines trust, leading to disengagement or loss of key talent.
Solution: Offer a stable employee experience
Preserve morale and trust with a partner that can ensure employees are paid accurately and without interruption during your M&A process.
Get support throughout your business’s life cycle
Problem: Lack of agility
Self-service solutions offer templates for current situations but little flexibility for future business changes.
Solution: Get post-integration support
Get a long-term partner that is there to guide you through future acquisitions, expansions, or other business changes.
