“Deals get done when buyers and sellers prioritize competing interests differently. If you’re clear on what matters most, the rest can be structured around it.” — Hannah Paige, CFO of Harbor IT & Director at Worklyn Partners In the final part of our MSP Valuation Series in collaboration with Kevin Clune, we break down the four components of a deal—cash at close, seller notes, rolled equity, and earnouts—and share practical insights on how MSP owners can negotiate trade-offs, evaluate offers, and structure deals around what matters most to them. 🔗 Read Part 4 → https://lnkd.in/eJXdpVH8 #MSP #Valuation #Cybersecurity #PrivateEquity #DealMaking #WorklynPartners

What is your MSP really worth, and how do you grow that number over time? We partnered with Kevin Clune of MSP Growth Hacks and our very own Hannah Paige to create a four-part blog series inspired by insights from their MSP Valuation Workshop. It’s built for MSP owners who want to better understand valuation—not just to prep for a potential exit, but to build a stronger, more valuable business for the long haul. Part 1, now live, breaks down the key quantitative and qualitative factors that shape how MSPs are valued. It’s a clear, actionable guide to assessing where you stand today and spotting the levers that matter most to your company’s long-term health. You’ll learn how to benchmark performance, understand what buyers actually look for, and use valuation as a tool to guide smarter decisions, not just to measure success. This isn’t just about exits. It’s about building a business that is sustainable, scalable, and full of opportunity for you, your team, and your customers. 🔗 Read Part 1: https://lnkd.in/d9yAJkW7 Coming up in Parts 2–4: how to grow your valuation, understand buyer types and deal structures, and weigh your options when opportunities come your way. #MSPValuation #MSPGrowth #Cybersecurity #ManagedServices #BusinessStrategy #WorklynPartners #HarborIT

🔥 Google just dropped $32B to acquire Wiz — the largest cybersecurity deal ever. Zachary Miller breaks down what this means beyond security: a bold move that could give Google a backdoor into AWS and Microsoft infrastructure. Multi-cloud visibility, strategic leverage, and maybe a faster path to catching up in the cloud race. We’re watching this closely at Worklyn. Could this be Google’s stealthiest cloud play yet? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eRr9p5X7 #Cybersecurity #CloudWars #Google #Wiz #MSSP #Worklyn
