Due Diligence for Mergers & Acquisitions
When a large merger or business purchase is about to happen, you need a way to get ahead of the likely staffing impacts so that you can reap the benefits of the transaction and drive efficiencies across the new organisation as soon as possible.
You need a clear, accurate view of your future options, likely expenses, cost savings and headcount. You need to be able to identify and manage risks before, during and after a deal has been agreed. That’s what Aide HR’s Due Diligence service is all about.
M&A Due Diligence
Can you bring your two organisations together effectively? Where are the opportunities, and what are the likely roadblocks to be aware of? The sooner we can get involved in your M&A decision-making process, the better. Your plans will become more effective, and the future will become much much simpler. We’ll examine both businesses closely and arm you with the confidential HR information you need to make a final decision.
- Assessment of existing HR policies
- Review of existing and legacy contracts
- Cultural and regulatory fit
Headcount Modelling
When two complementary businesses come together, there’s always a cost saving to be found … especially when it comes to central functions like IT and Finance. As soon as your M&A deal is agreed, we can show you how to redeploy and restructure your teams so that the transaction becomes a genuine career opportunity for everyone involved.
We’ll model headcount reductions, cost impacts, retraining and employee capacity using our time-tested cost modelling methods. You’ll be amazed at how much value you can uncover even after the M&A deal has completed.
TUPE Compliance
Most businesses that transfer ownership within the UK need to work within the TUPE regulations. Your employees have a legal right to be notified of a transfer of ownership, and how this transfer is likely to affect them. There are rigorous rules surrounding notice periods and potential redundancy impacts, so it’s important to follow procedure carefully.
We’ll help you and your management team navigate this vital piece of UK legislation in a way that doesn’t alienate or demotivate your team.
