LegalZoom.com acquired Formation Nation, a small business advisory services company, for $49.3 million in cash upfront.
The online legal-technology and services company on Monday said that the deal, which includes 2.2 million of its shares, will help it attract higher value customers through Formation Nation's customer service teams.
An additional $15.4 million in cash is subject to a one-year holdback and customary adjustments.
As part of the agreement, LegalZoom.com will hire Formation Nation's employee base of over 140 people, the company said.
