Engagement Agency M&A Group Focuses on People-Centric Businesses

The Engagement Agency’s M&A group expands to provide mergers and acquisition services for owners proud of their investment in people.

The Engagement Agency Human Capital and Engagement Mergers & Acquisitions service is designed for business owners who believe that their investments in people have increased the organization’s value or who have solutions that can help organizations increase their engagement and human capital return on investment. The Engagement Agency M&A group also supports sellers seeking to find buyers that understand the value of their people investments in the determination of valuation.

The Engagement Agency service provides to organizations business brokerage and valuation services using transparent human capital valuation, risk, and opportunity factors to provide insights into future performance based on effective people management practices. Using the Engagement Agency’s business model, the company’s services draw upon a diverse group of practitioners in human capital benchmarking and valuations as needed.

The new M&A group focuses mostly on the needs of sellers but can assist with acquisition strategies. According to its founder, Bruce Bolger, “The Engagement Agency team has unmatched experience in the human capital field and extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions and believes that the value of people strategies and human capital remain a largely overlooked source of growth and risk in the investment community. The company can provide human capital valuation services consistent with new US Securities & Exchange Commission disclosure requirements that can help privately held companies put a better light on their business operations as well, adds Bolger, Founder of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance at TheEEA.org, the parent of the Engagement Agency.

Providing advisory services to the Engagement Agency is Michael Mazer, who has served as business advisor to the Enterprise Engagement Alliance and its corporate parent, Engagement Enterprises LLC, since 2008. See ESM: An M&A Experts View of the Engagement Marketplace. He has assisted the Engagement Agency M&A group for three years in developing strategies to help engagement solution providers seeking an exit to a strategic acquirer to take advantage of the growth of the engagement field. Mazer has specialized in telecommunications M&A for over 25 years. He holds his Series 79 license and is affiliated with W. G. Nielsen & Co., a registered broker/dealer and FINRA member. In his advisory role, Mazer will leverage his extensive experience helping sellers develop strategies to find the right buyers as well as his affiliation with the EEA and the research and insights of Engagement Agency solution provider partners to present companies in a way that highlights the value of their people strategies and identifies the right type of buyers.

Explains Mazer, “Having concluded dozens of sales for owners seeking a successful exit and having played an advisory role in many acquisitions, it’s clear to me that having a unique selling proposition is critical to getting a good deal done. With the increasing focus on both the importance and risks involved with human capital, only being accelerated by the pandemic, we believe there’s a unique opportunity to help sellers who have focused on their people tell that story in the best possible way to buyers that understand the value based on tangible financial and performance metrics.”
