Empower your portfolio companies by partnering with a PEO that can offer the HR infrastructure needed to help them grow and scale.
For example, a recent VC-backed client in the fintech sector was overpaying for a costly benefits package that also underdelivered for their employees. Not only were they bleeding money, but they were also carrying significant HR compliance risk.
Our expert team was able to save them over $370,000 annually (all-in) by providing them with a Fortune 500-level benefit offering, all while solving their HR compliance issues and offering dedicated support. Needless to say, both the employees and the company were thrilled with the improved savings and coverage.
Below, we review some of our PEO services for portfolio companies.
Navigating the intricacies of benefits can be challenging for portfolio companies especially as they acquire other companies.

With our PEO services, you can be confident in your compliance with labor laws, allowing you to concentrate on your primary business objectives.
Operating across California and North Dakota, a life sciences venture fund was grappling with service issues from their then HR provider, which was a large national firm. They thus needed a new PEO partner that could manage their remote employees, who were scattered across multiple states.
Aspen HR’s white glove service model caught their attention, and the venture fund went on to make the switch. We then developed custom offerings for the firm, with which we proceeded to support their human resource operations.
The subsequent results were remarkable – as we raised their employee satisfaction rate and saved the company over $150k.
A California-based private equity firm was in the process of acquiring a home infusion company in Texas. During the due diligence phase, though, the buyer expressed concerns regarding potential HR risks on the side of the home infusion entity. It then sought Aspen HR’s expertise to evaluate the risks.
Aspen HR successfully identified multiple issues, including inefficient manual HR processes, invalid non-compete agreements, outdated forms, and job misclassifications. Consequently, the buyer engaged Aspen HR to implement corrective actions post-acquisition, making us the company’s long-term HR partner of choice.
A PEO, or Professional Employer Organization, offers portfolio companies a comprehensive suite of HR services. By partnering with a PEO, portfolio companies can streamline their HR operations, ensure compliance, manage risks, and access competitive benefits. This allows them to focus on core business activities, drive growth, and enhance their operational efficiency.
PE (Private Equity) and VC (Venture Capital) are both forms of investment strategies, but they target different stages of a company’s life cycle. PE typically invests in mature companies, aiming to optimize operations and drive profitability. VC, on the other hand, invests in early-stage companies with high growth potential, often in exchange for equity. While both PE and VC have portfolio companies, the nature and objectives of their investments can differ significantly.
During mergers and acquisitions (M&A), companies face a myriad of challenges, especially in the realm of HR. A PEO can be invaluable during this phase by:
Cost-Efficiency: Optimize HR-related costs, ensuring a smooth transition without unnecessary expenditures.
By leveraging a PEO during M&A, companies can ensure a smoother transition, minimize disruptions, and set the stage for future success.
