Exit Fitness Assessment
Exit readiness is a critical aspect of building and running a successful IT managed service provider (MSP) business.
Are you ready?
Our unique and comprehensive Exit Fitness Assessment enables IT MSPs to assess their readiness for a potential exit or sale.
Even if there are no immediate plans to sell, owners should always be thinking about how to make their company more attractive to potential buyers. With proper planning, you can achieve a higher valuation, negotiate better terms and deal structures, and attract a wider pool of potential buyers.
An exit readiness model or “fitness assessment” helps MSP owners diagnose overall business health and develop a strategic roadmap to increase value. Our assessment provides guidance on how to improve your score and is based on best practices in the low- to mid-market MSP industry.

To attract potential buyers, IT MSPs must have a clear strategy and competitive positioning in the market. This includes factors such as target markets, service offerings, and competitive differentiation.
Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management
IT MSPs must comply with regulatory requirements and implement strong risk management practices to ensure the protection of their clients’ data and minimize potential legal liabilities.
