Staffing Mistakes

The Big Three:

We continue to see owners of staffing companies make the same 3 major mistakes. Addressing these issues with your Advisor up front will help ease the pain during due diligence:

Working Capital: If you use factoring, the Buyer is likely to treat cash as A/R and require it at closing. Sellers using factoring often think the cash belongs to them at closing
Worker’s Comp: Whether you use Guaranteed Cost, Retrospective, or Self-Insurance, there are pros and cons of each. For example, Guaranteed Cost mitigates due diligence risk and will likely be a cost saving to the Buyer, but it is the most expensive and requires an experienced Banker to obtain credit for it in the EBITDA Adjustments
Perm & Temp Valuation Expectations: Plain and simple, these are valued separately and anyone who says otherwise is probably not a good advisor for you.
