Despite what the economy may be doing or not doing, the private equity community is pulling out all the stops when it comes to trying to identify quality MSPs. I have personally witnessed a big increase in inbound calls and emails from investment bankers looking to invest in the right MSPs. If what I’m hearing from the MSPs is accurate, MSP executives are fielding a lot of inbound traffic as well. What does this mean?
As I have been saying, the private equity banks are looking for ways to invest their money and managed services right now seems to be the big game in town. It will be curious to see if any MSPs actually get funded. Only time will tell.
I’ll keep you posted on any new developments but don’t expect this trend to go away anytime soon.
