MBO Partners, a provider of independent contractor engagement solutions, today announced a new international sales and service delivery strategy that will license the MBO Partners brand to a network of qualified member firms.

The network will supplement MBO's existing relationships with sub-contracted engagement providers throughout the globe currently supporting contractors for MBO clients across more than 80 countries. 

Contracting PLUS Ltd. is the first member firm authorized to operate licensees MBO Partners Ireland Ltd. and MBO Partners UK Ltd. Contracting PLUS has more than 100 staff and office locations in Cork and Dublin, Ireland; and London. 

MBO Partners plans to further expand its network of member firms this year.

“We have taken our time to get this right,” said President and CEO Gene Zaino. “We have studied many models and have found that a properly curated network of qualified member firms capable of leveraging MBO’s gold standard for delivering impeccable service, program adoption and contract workforce compliance is by far the best solution for our international expansion.”

MBO provides contractor management services including a freelancer management system. It also provides back office services for independent consultants.
