PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Escalon, the leader in the over $300 billion Essential Business Services (EBS) market, today announces it has entered into a recapitalization agreement with New Harbor Capital. Escalon's first investment partner in 16 years, New Harbor Capital will make a substantial investment in Escalon for continued organic growth, M&A opportunities, and technology advancement.
Escalon's EBS solution is a one-stop shop for all the back-office business essentials growth-minded companies need, including accounting, bookkeeping, taxes, insurance, payroll, benefits, and recruiting. With this new investment, Escalon's EBS solution will be equipped to offer companies of all sizes the services and resources needed to take their business to the next level.
