Following on from the great success from my business purchase last year, I'm looking to do it again, in the Auckland (or further north) area, to help cover our existing customers up there, as well as grow.

 

I'm looking for a 1-3 employee MSP/ITSP to buy, and preferably one with an owner that is tired of running a business and just wants to go back to working on the tech rather than dealing with accounting, marketing etc etc

 

Any/all leads appreciated :)

Sorry OT - but good for you! There's currently so much doom and gloom news about business in NZ, it's great to hear of someone growing and being successful in this way. 👍





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

It’s not unusual to hear of IT business owners who much preferred being the tech and do not enjoy the admin/billing/HR side of running a business. Hopefully your next merger will be as successful as the last, Dan.

Thanks! We have definitely been lucky to not see much downturn so far.

Even I'm not that keen on it. Long term I'd like to hire a GM and go back to doing business strategy + tech! Thanks :)

I'm curious, @danfaulknor.  Did anyone approach you to have a chat?  Definitely not looking to out anyone, of course.

 

All businesses have challenges and running an IT company can wear owners down in multiple ways.  I hear of M&A's all the time in Aussie but in NZ they are often not publicised.

I had one message for a chat, but they got busy and it never happened. Still looking!
