🌟 What an incredible experience at The IT Nation Grow! 🌟 It was amazing to connect with dozens of IT MSP business owners and fellow subject matter experts (SMEs). Events like this truly bridge the gap between theory and practice—I wish I had access to something like this during business school! The sessions were packed with valuable insights from advisors, private equity buyers, and former business owners who’ve successfully exited. The exit process is a long journey, and as we discussed, it takes a village to do it right! Here are just a few of the critical topics we covered: ✅ Personal Wealth Target and strategies to achieve it ✅ Valuation and the key drivers behind it ✅ Tax savings through QSBS and advanced planning strategies ✅ Corporate structuring ✅ Financing options for acquisitions ✅ The benefits of a Sellers Quality of Earnings report ✅ Breaking down the LOI (Letter of Intent) ✅ How to effectively communicate with employees during the process ✅ Essential documents like teasers, NDAs, CIMs, PAs, and more ✅ Types of PE buyers to consider …and so much more! Can’t wait for the next event on February 5th in Dallas—see you there! A huge thank you to Arlin Sorensen (mad props for the LEGO shirt!) and ConnectWise for hosting such a phenomenal event. 👏 #ITNationGrow #MSPCommunity #PrivateEquity #BusinessExits #KnowledgeSharing #WealthPlanning #CorporateStrategy #BusinessGrowth

On my way to The IT Nation Grow at ConnectWise's HQ in Tampa! (obligatory #EBITDA hat selfie pic in comments) I am extremely excited for an action-packed two-day boot camp filled with insights, strategies, and connections on MSP M&A (and yes, even how to order license plates from your local DMV 🚙). One of the big highlights? A special treat from Arlin Sorensen (pictured) — deal simulations that provide hands-on perspectives from sellers, buyers, and M&A subject matter experts. Why is this event a must-attend? Just ask attendee Libbie Kucel, Owner/HR Manager at CompuGIG: "The quality of the networking was high. I had an opportunity to chat with most of the presenters. Those opportunities were nearly as valuable to us as the actual presentations." Looking forward to being together and making meaningful connections! Ping me if you can't attend and would like to join our next one. I will add this week's agenda in the comments. #mergersacquisitionsdivestitures, #privateequity, #cybersecurity, FOCUS Investment Banking, #mspmarketmaker, Matthew Lavender, Tony Thomas, Peter Sorensen
