cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) software, delivered as software-as-a-service, that offers payroll, tax, HR, time and attendance, recruiting, and benefits administration tools to small and mid-sized businesses across the United States.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) The company is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1985 and headquartered at 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, in [Austin, Texas](https://www.edgepedia.org/austin-texas).[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) Its common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ASUR, and 26,979,485 shares were outstanding as of March 5, 2025.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Founded / incorporated | 1985, Delaware corporation; headquarters

2025[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) |\n| Customers | More than 100,000 clients across the United States; about 20% direct, the rest indirect through Reseller Partners who white label the solutions[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) |\n| Revenue mix | 88% recurring revenue; clients

[5](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/3ca78240-4da6-499a-b8c7-68f09fb40fee) |\n\n## Products and platform\n\nThe Asure HCM suite includes seven product lines: Asure Payroll & Tax, Asure Tax Management Solutions, AsureRecruiting, Asure HR Compliance, Asure Time & Attendance, Asure Insurance and Benefits Administration, and AsureMarketplace.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) AsureMarketplace automates interactions between the HCM systems and third-party providers, with pre-built integrations covering applications such as income verification and earned wage access.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc)\n\n**AsureCentral.** AsureCentral, the company's present platform, unifies payroll, HR, tax, benefits, recruiting, time, and employee self-service in one sign-on, with data shared throughout and permissions set by role. Because payroll and HR sit in the same system, a new hire entered through onboarding is already in the system payroll runs from, and a termination processed in HR removes the employee from the active payroll population without a separate reconciliation step.[6](https://www.asuresoftware.com/native-payroll-vs-integration-dependent-hcm-architecture-and-why-it-matters-for-payroll-leaders/) An embedded AI assistant, Luna, works across AsureCentral to answer employee questions and help managers keep payroll and HR operations moving.[7](https://www.asuresoftware.com/)\n\n**AsureWorks.** Launched in April 2026, AsureWorks is a done-for-you payroll and HR service in which Asure specialists process every payroll run, handle tax filing and reporting, and keep employee records current. The company describes it as a managed-service alternative to a PEO: there is no co-employment, the client remains the employer of record, and the client keeps its existing benefits plans, broker relationships, and retirement programs.[8](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/press-releases?_correlationId=16&page=1) • [9](https://www.asuresoftware.com/choosing-a-payroll-and-hr-platform-is-a-compliance-and-flexibility-bet/)\n\nThe payroll and tax products handle federal, state, and local tax tables and filings, [Form W-2](https://www.edgepedia.org/form-w-2) requirements, forms mandated by the [Affordable Care Act](https://www.edgepedia.org/affordable-care-act), general ledger integration, garnishments, and employee self-service, including AsurePay, a payroll debit card with on-demand pay capabilities.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) Time and attendance offerings combine software with hardware such as [time clocks](https://www.edgepedia.org/time-clock) and data collection devices, including biometric clocks with facial recognition intended to reduce time theft, and mobile punching verified by geo-positioning.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc)\n\n## Distribution and customers\n\nAsure sells directly and through a network of Reseller Partners who white label its solutions; approximately 20% of its more than 100,000 clients are direct and the remaining balance indirect.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) In 2026 the company expanded distribution through partnerships with the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association and FRPG Restaurant Rewards for independent restaurant operators, and through a co-selling arrangement on the [AWS Marketplace](https://www.edgepedia.org/aws-marketplace), which the company describes as opening a new channel via the marketplace's 330,000 customers.[8](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/press-releases?_correlationId=16&page=1)\n\n## Financial performance\n\nFull year 2025 revenue was $140.5 million, up 17% year over year. Fourth quarter 2025 revenue was $39.3 million, up 28%, with net income of $0.8 million versus a net loss of $3.2 million in the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA of $11.4 million, up 82% from $6.2 million.[3](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/node/18031/pdf) Growth continued into 2026: first quarter revenue was $42.8 million, up 23%, and second quarter revenue was $37.1 million, up 23%, with recurring revenue of $34.0 million, up 19%, and adjusted EBITDA of $7.7 million, up 48%.[4](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/news-releases/news-release-details/asure-announces-second-quarter-2026-results) • [8](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/press-releases?_correlationId=16&page=1)\n\nThe company's 10-K risk factors note a history of losses and a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified in the 2024 annual report, and flag that revenue related to Employee Retention Tax Credit filing services under the [CARES Act](https://www.edgepedia.org/cares-act) was expected to decline as those regulations expired.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc)\n\n## Acquisitions\n\nAcquisition of reseller partners' businesses and complementary companies is part of the company's stated strategy.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc)\n\n## Competitive position\n\nAsure's 10-K names ADP, Paychex, UKG, Paylocity, Paycor, Paycom, Ceridian, isolved, Gusto, and Time Simplicity as its main competitors, and company investor materials identify ADP and Paychex as its largest.[1](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/26dc3d9c-a81a-40ac-8ef6-70c80326afbc) • [5](https://investor.asuresoftware.com/static-files/3ca78240-4da6-499a-b8c7-68f09fb40fee) Unlike those larger rivals, Asure concentrates on small and mid-sized businesses, and its managed-service positioning differs from PEO arrangements: AsureWorks clients remain the employer of record rather than entering co-employment.[9](https://www.asuresoftware.com/choosing-a-payroll-and-hr-platform-is-a-compliance-and-flexibility-bet/) In G2's Spring 2023 mid-market grid report for payroll, Asure appeared among the High Performers, with 73% of its users rating it 4 or 5 stars and 70% saying they would be likely to recommend it.[11](https://www.adp.com/-/media/adp/resourcehub/pdf/analyst-reports/g2-mid-market-report-spring23.pdf)\n\n## References\n\n1.
