Workers Compensation - Acquisition Structuring

Acquiring a business can be one of your most challenging and exhilarating professional experiences. An essential element of your due diligence - one that is often overlooked - is workers' compensation. In some states, the claims experience of the company you are acquiring (or part of it) will transfer to your organisation at the time of sale. This can impact on your workers' compensation premium. You cannot contract out of this obligation, but you can ensure you understand the impact before you buy.

The succession impact of the deal will be added to the premium calculation for your organisation and will impact for the three years following the sale.

Aon’s Acquisition Structuring services will ensure there are no adverse impacts on the deal that may need to be reflected in the purchase price or even the purchase itself. Or you may want to ensure the contract allows you some redress for any adverse consequences.
