Whether you focus on cloud services, cybersecurity, or general IT support, we connect you with brokers who understand Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), churn rates, and EBITDA multiples.
Selling an MSP business is different than selling a traditional service business. You have long-term contracts, high-margin recurring revenue, and intellectual property in your processes and stack.
We start by analyzing your revenue mix. Is it primarily break-fix/project work or true managed services (MRR)? Do you have high customer concentration? What is your tech stack and documentation level?
From there, we identify business brokers who specialize in the technology sector. Some are experts in selling smaller MSPs to strategic local buyers, while others work with private equity firms aggregating regional IT providers.
• Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) – High-quality, contracted recurring revenue is the primary driver of MSP valuation multiples.
• Client Retention & Churn – Low churn rates demonstrate the stickiness of your service and the quality of your relationships.
• Technical Talent – A skilled, certified team that can operate independently adds significant value in a talent-constrained market.
• Documentation & Systems – Standardized processes (SOPs) and a well-documented tech stack make integration easier for buyers.
Selling an IT business requires organized contracts and a strategy to retain key engineers.
The first step is a comprehensive valuation. MSPs are typically valued on a multiple of EBITDA. Companies with high margins (20%+) and strong organic growth command premium multiples.
We work with business brokers who will "recast" your financials. This involves normalizing earnings to show the true profitability of the operation, separating one-time hardware sales from recurring service revenue.
You don't want your clients or engineers to know the business is for sale. Confidentiality is critical to maintaining stability.
Our partner business brokers utilize strict protocols—blind listings and NDAs—to ensure your team and clients remain unaware of the sale until the deal is finalized and a smooth transition plan is ready.
