Get M&As Right With Specialized Talent From Upwork and Business Talent Group

Growing your company through mergers and acquisitions (M&As) is a complex and subtle process. There are many reasons why 70-90% of them fail: Even small missteps can set a promising deal on the wrong trajectory, or knock things off course once the initial deal is done.

With the right experience on your side, however, your company can improve the odds that its next M&A transaction will go smoothly from start to finish.

Upwork and Business Talent Group (BTG) have joined forces to bring companies access to the largest pool of on-demand talent. “This collaboration ushers in a new era of flexibility at a time when everyone needs it,” said Hayden Brown, CEO of Upwork.

From experienced strategists to interim leaders and subject matter experts with the know-how to execute at each step, here’s a look at how independent talent can help your company grow.
