What Buyers See That You Don’t: An M&A Panel on Today’s MSP Market
July 28 | 12 PM CST
Most MSP owners will sell a business exactly once. The buyers on this panel have evaluated hundreds of them, and they know things about your future transaction that you can’t see from your side of the table.
We’re sitting down with three private equity groups (Courser, Shield, & Evergreen) actively acquiring in the MSP space for a candid conversation about how buyers really think. Moderated by Corey Kerns, VP of M&A at iTValuations, the panel will cover how buyers approach valuation, where sellers go wrong in the years before a sale, and what life actually looks like after the ink dries.
You’ll hear:
- What most sellers get wrong about maximizing EBITDA before a sale
- How buyers think about valuation, and what moves the number most
- What the life of an acquired owner actually looks like, and what sellers should ask about before signing that most never do
- And each buyer’s answer to one question: “If you owned an MSP you planned to sell in three years, knowing everything you know from your side of the table, what would you do differently than most sellers?”
Whether you’re planning an exit or just want to understand what your business looks like through a buyer’s eyes, this hour will change how you prepare.
