In this episode of The Business of Tech, host Dave Sobel welcomes Abraham Garver from Focus Investment Bank to discuss the current state of the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). The conversation begins with an overview of the increasing interest from private equity groups in investing in MSPs, particularly those with operational maturity and a solid EBITDA of at least $3 million. Garver highlights that while there is a significant amount of capital available, the market is experiencing a shift that favors sellers, especially as larger funds seek bigger assets.

Garver explains that many smaller MSPs struggle to attract investment due to a lack of operational maturity, often relying on owner-led sales and failing to consistently add new customers. He emphasizes the importance of joining peer groups to help these smaller businesses develop the necessary skills and strategies to grow and become more attractive to investors. The discussion also touches on the challenges faced by smaller MSPs in navigating the competitive landscape, where larger players dominate the market.

The episode further explores the different investment theses that private equity groups adopt when looking to invest in MSPs. Garver notes that many investors are drawn to regulated industries but often overlook the need to find unique niches that have not yet been consolidated. He stresses that both MSPs and investors must think creatively to differentiate themselves in a crowded market, as many traditional approaches have already been explored by previous investors.

Finally, the conversation shifts to the dynamics of day one post-sale for MSPs and the conditions that lead to successful transitions. Garver shares insights on how to prepare for this critical phase, emphasizing the importance of having a strong management team and a clear growth strategy in place. He concludes by discussing the potential for ongoing investment cycles in the MSP space, suggesting that the market may continue to evolve with new rounds of investment rather than a singular focus on IPOs as an exit strategy.
