Channel Insider: Partner POV

What To Do Before Selling Your MSP Business


Listen Later

With two decades of experience in IT as a business owner and managed service provider, Nancy Henriquez says the minute you start your business is also when you should be preparing it to sell. In this episode of Channel Insider: Partner POV, Henriquez shares her evolution from a break/fix business owner to a full blown MSP and what she's learned along the way. Henriquez tells host Katie Bavoso about the first time she heard the title "managed service provider" and how she used the MSPs listed as the industry's best as her blueprint for the MSP she would eventually build. When she was accepted into the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, that's when Henriquez says she was empowered with her first business education experience. What started as a path to survival for a young mom of two, became an impassioned career. However, after a challenging experience selling her first IT business, Henriquez says what helped her start up her MSP business was organizing it in a way that could be smoothly transitioned to another owner. Her number one piece of advice is to begin a business with the end in mind, even if you don't intend to sell it at any time soon. The experienced channel expert also shares the most important thing you should do during the transition of ownership.
