Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Not addressing key man risk when the owner holds all technical relationships
- Failing to disclose any data breaches or Cyber Essentials failures
Who Buys This Type of Business?
IT company buyers include larger MSPs acquiring to gain clients and staff, PE-backed technology platforms, strategic buyers seeking specific vendor partnerships, and management teams executing buyouts. Microsoft and Cisco partners with large client bases attract the highest premium multiples.
UK Market Demand
UK IT services M&A is one of the most active SME sectors. The shift to cloud, cybersecurity investment and demand for managed IT support has created a buoyant market. MSPs with strong recurring revenue contracts are selling quickly, often to trade buyers within 6–9 months of listing.
Common Questions
How is an MSP valued in the UK?
MSPs are valued at 3x–6x EBITDA. Monthly recurring revenue (MRR), contract length and churn rate are the primary metrics. Businesses with 70%+ MRR from long-term support contracts typically achieve the top of the range.
Do vendor accreditations transfer when I sell my IT company?
Vendor partnerships (Microsoft, Cisco, etc.) are usually held at company level and transfer with the business. However, some require personal certification from named technical staff. Confirm accreditation transfer requirements with each vendor early in the process.
How do I sell my IT company confidentially?
All buyers sign an NDA before receiving any information. We never disclose your company name, client list or technical details in marketing. Competitor firms can be screened out of the buyer pool if required.
What contracts should I have in place before selling my IT company?
Ensure all clients are on signed managed service agreements with clear notice periods. Monthly rolling contracts reduce value — move as many as possible to 12–36 month terms before listing. Documented SLAs and renewal history show buyers a reliable income stream.
How long does it take to sell an IT services business?
Typically 6–12 months. MSPs with strong MRR and clean client contracts can attract offers within weeks of listing. The main variable is buyer due diligence — technical deep dives and contract reviews add time but are manageable with good preparation.
What is the success fee?
Our success fee is only payable when contracts exchange and your sale successfully completes. There are no upfront fees, no listing fees and no monthly charges. Contact us for our current fee structure.
