A well-capitalized, founder-friendly private equity sponsor is building a platform in the managed services provider (MSP) space. The strategy is a two-step approach: acquire a strong initial platform, then grow it through a series of tuck-in acquisitions across Florida and the broader Southeast.

The sponsor has a demonstrated track record of working collaboratively with founders and owner-operators through and after a transaction, and is looking for MSP leaders who want to be part of building something larger — not simply cashing out and walking away.

This buyer is actively seeking Florida- and Southeast-based businesses operating in the following categories:

• Managed IT Services — Full-service MSPs with an SMB or mid-market customer base and a recurring revenue model
• Co-Managed IT — Providers supporting internal IT teams at larger client organizations
• Cloud & Infrastructure Management — MSPs with cloud migration, hosting, or infrastructure management capabilities
• Platform Candidates — Established MSPs with the scale and management depth to serve as an initial platform investment
• Tuck-In Candidates — Smaller MSPs that strengthen an existing platform’s geography, service mix, or client base, regardless of standalone scale

This mandate is well-suited for founder- and owner-operated MSPs — whether you’re the right fit as the initial platform or as a tuck-in that strengthens one already in place.

• Florida- or Southeast-based MSP; other U.S. regions considered for the right fit
• Founder- or owner-operated, values-aligned leadership team
• Recurring, managed-services revenue model — not project or break-fix dependent
• Revenue typically in the $5M–$40M range for platform candidates; smaller tuck-in candidates evaluated on strategic fit rather than size alone
• Healthy client retention and a defensible base of recurring revenue

If you’re unsure whether your business qualifies as a platform or a tuck-in, a confidential conversation costs nothing.
