Frequently Asked Questions

What are the steps to Partnering with MSP Corp
There are a number of stages in the acquisition or partnering process.

It all starts with First Contact – an Introductory call to give us both a chance to discuss your company and ours, and how we might envision a future.  We can answer questions about the process, and if we choose to move forward, MSP Corp will send over an NDA.

From there – we’ll perform some evaluation, determine valuation, and draft a letter of intent.  A period of due diligence will ensure that things look right before we complete the process!
Does your team have IT MSP management experience?

Yes. We have been in the industry since the early 2000s and have built and sold multiple IT companies.

Can I stay on and grow my business?

Absolutely. In fact, we prefer to work with business owners that seek to stay on board post-transaction and keep growing their businesses.

Do I have to sign a non-compete after I sell? How long for?

Yes. This is standard procedure in any M&A transaction. This is to protect the buyer’s investment. General term is 3-5 years. 

Why do I have to tell you my clients' names?

We try and keep the information request to a minimum until we get to the offer stage. We do not need client names to submit an offer, but we do require information about client concentration (i.e. percentage of revenue that top clients represent). Once an offer is accepted, we need to conduct due diligence before the deal is finalized. This includes requesting invoices, bank statements, customer names, bills, etc.

Should I speak to a lawyer first?

We keep the process transparent to avoid you needing legal assistance during the initial stages. However, once an offer is received, it is recommended you seek legal advice to validate a strong offer.

How does the payout structure generally work?

The payout structure typically involves 50–60% paid upfront, with a percentage held back over a three-year period. This allows MSP Corp to pay maximum value for your business. Full payouts are available upfront, but this will significantly lower your valuation.

MSP Corp is Growing Through Acquisition

Founded in 2020, we are one of the fastest growing MSPs in North America. MSP Corp has made eight acquisitions since January 2020.
