Questions owners ask.
A few plain answers about fit, the first conversation, and what to share.
What kinds of businesses are a fit?
Felicity Partners looks at technology businesses broadly, with managed service providers as its primary focus. It generally looks for businesses under $3M in income and favors teams with decades of combined experience and deep knowledge of the business. California is preferred, but not required.
What does an MSP mean in practical terms?
A managed service provider (MSP) is a technology business that manages IT systems, networks, or related services for other businesses on an ongoing basis. The label can cover different kinds of work, so a useful starting point is the services you deliver and how customers rely on them.
Do you only consider California businesses or a certain size?
California is preferred, but not required. Businesses are generally under $3M in income. These are guideposts, not a promise of fit; the business and team context matters too.
What does an initial conversation look like?
Listening comes first. We would want to hear how the business works from you and, where appropriate, from people on the current team who know its products, services, and day-to-day work. The first conversation is a chance to understand the context and decide whether it makes sense to keep talking; it is not a commitment.
How are the owner and team’s context treated?
The owner and current team carry product, service, and day-to-day knowledge. People who have been with a business for years carry useful context, and Felicity Partners takes that experience seriously. It listens and learns before making decisions rather than assuming it already knows what the business needs.
