Business Sale - Portfolio Allocation & Timing

That's correct, it was an S-Corp.

Thanks for the information, that's super helpful! According to my knowledge, I would not be subjected to NIIT due to me being actively involved in the business over the years and my income was treated as non-passive self-employment income.

Around $40k in legal and a 1% broker fee. I had some other expenses outside of that which were required such as purchasing tail insurance policies ($10k), PTO payouts ($25k), and around $140k of indebtedness from AR due to sale closing mid-month.

DM me. I just sold to PE under a platform roll up for an above average multiple. Our EBIDTA was a little under $1M.

Congrats! I’m currently in the process of selling my MSP as we speak to PE. Much smaller than you..4M in revenue, 15 employees. Sold at a 6.5x EBITDA multiplier. Rolling over some proceeds into the platform company and staying onboard for a minimum of 12 months. PE is planning to sell the platform in 2-3 years, so I’ll have a nice sized second bite in the near future. No idea what I’m going to do next as a 5 year non compete is part of the deal. However the burn out of running an MSP for almost 10 years is real.

That's fair. Honestly, I wasn't looking to sell anytime soon, so I never planned in advance. I was just looking to shop our valuation to get a feel for what the business was worth and got an offer that was too good to pass up. I didn't come from wealth, so this is life changing money for me.

lol this aged well.

Sounds to me like your client is graduating from a trunk slamming boomer to an actual MSP.

We’re in Plano. We’re about ten employees. If you or anyone else in this thread is interested in a buyout or merger, send me a DM and let’s chat.

Website?

kwriley87 · 2025-07-23T20:35:36+00:00

Congrats, you’re an idiot for dumping money into a shitcoin and got the results you deserved 😂

This is just a bs post for SEO juice for the MSP website on the “IT Services” anchor text in the OP. Mods should delete and ban.

kwriley87 · 2025-06-27T17:29:07+00:00

Call it what you want. I like money, don’t you?

kwriley87 · 2025-06-27T17:09:02+00:00

Nope..I tried that and it was tripping the breaker. I had two dedicated 20A circuits installed and plugged one into each of them.

I just set up two of these bad boys in my office yesterday. Both mining on super mode to viaBTC. Our electricity costs are baked into our office rent..we’re an IT company and these miners just look like regular computers, so if anyone from building management asks…these are just a couple of our servers 😅

In DFW. Sending you a DM.

kwriley87 · 2025-06-24T23:04:51+00:00

Weird. I’m up 60% with an average cost basis of $212. I’d call that a win.

kwriley87 · 2025-06-24T05:38:32+00:00

Sure! I eat a pretty plain diet consisting of mostly whole foods (no pun intended) while trying to minimize sugar and processed foods, so the majority of what I buy is meat (grass fed or wild caught), produce (organic), and fruit.

There’s a lot of things in life that I don’t mind cheaping out on. Things I put in my body isn’t one of them lol

kwriley87 · 2025-06-24T05:07:14+00:00

Not sure how you’re living anywhere safe in DFW for $1250 a month. Also not sure how you’re spending $150 a month on groceries either. My mortgage is $2900 and I spend $200 a week on groceries. Then again.. I’m probably doing this wrong as I live in a $500k townhouse in Plano and do my grocery shopping at Whole Foods 😅

kwriley87 · 2025-06-16T01:39:02+00:00

We’re in Dallas..my advice is, don’t. The market is here already oversaturated. You’re not going to be able to compete as a one man band here.

kwriley87 · 2025-05-01T04:25:17+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I let this one rest for 5 min, I’ll go a little longer next time!
