M&A Transition Service Agreement
Making Sure Seamless Transitions
What is M&A Transition Service Agreement?
- A M&A Transition Service Agreement (TSA) is a legally binding document that outlines the terms for a seller to continue running or supporting a purchased business unit during a transition phase. It governs the period from financial close (when the deal is completed) to separation, which typically lasts around six months (though up to a year is not uncommon). During this phase, the buyer has time to align and integrate the new business unit with their operations, including resolving staffing and resourcing issues.
Why Are TSAs Important?
01.
Speed and Efficiency
-
TSAs accelerate the negotiation process without waiting for the buyer to assume full responsibility for the acquired business unit.
-
They ensure a quick resolution and efficient financial close during the transition.
02.
Risk Mitigation
-
TSAs provide a safety net during the transition, allowing both parties to operate smoothly.
-
They prevent disruptions and ensure continuity of critical services.
03.
Cost Savings
-
While there may be some costs associated with implementing a TSA, the benefits usually outweigh these costs in the long run.
-
TSAs help avoid unnecessary delays and expenses.
