Acquisition Deal Reached Following Unexpected Shutdown

Bench to be Acquired, After Abrupt Shut Down

TechCrunch has exclusively learned that Bench, the VC-backed accounting startup that left thousands of customers locked out of their accounts after it suddenly shut down last week, will be acquired by Employer.com for an undisclosed price.

The acquisition, which is set to revive Bench’s platform and provide instructions for customers to login and obtain their data shortly, comes as a relief to the thousands of small business owners who were left in limbo.
