CCA Global Partners Acquires MainStreet Business Services
Manchester, New Hampshire (March 31, 2009) – CCA Global Partners today announced its acquisition of MainStreet Business Services of St. Paul, Minnesota. MainStreet will become part of CCA’s BizUnite division. With this acquisition, CCA Global Partners and BizUnite become America’s premier providers of shared services for independent companies.
“In these difficult times, we are indeed fortunate to have the resources to have made this acquisition,” says Howard Brodsky, Co-Founder, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of CCA Global Partners. “MainStreet, like CCA Global, was founded to help small businesses compete with major corporations through shared purchasing, marketing and cost-saving programs. This acquisition will result in enhanced power for America’s independent companies – the power that comes from synergy.”
MainStreet is comprised of over 130,000 member businesses that employ 5.3 million employees. It will become part of BizUnite, a division of CCA Global Partners. As a result of the acquisition, BizUnite plans to expand the scope of services that are currently available to member companies. “The web-based business services marketplace that BizUnite has developed will bring immediate benefit to our members. We are pleased and fortunate to be part of the CCA Global family,” says Don Collyard, President of MainStreet Business Services. Plans are in place for new programs to help smaller businesses compete against larger companies through enhanced buying power, cooperative marketing programs, insurance, training and sharing of success strategies. Brodsky predicts that this acquisition will attract more members to BizUnite and CCA Global from the ranks of dealer networks, retail cooperatives, franchises and business associations.
