Uncle Marv sits down with Paul Daigle, founder of the Biz Advisory Board and a 30-year industry expert, for a candid conversation about what it takes to build, grow, and ultimately sell a successful MSP. Paul shares his journey from MSP owner to M&A advisor, revealing the pitfalls that keep many IT business owners from reaching their full potential. They explore why so many MSPs undervalue their businesses and how tools like the MSP Business Evaluator and Accelerator can give owners a clear roadmap to higher profits and better exit opportunities.

The episode dives into the eight key operational focus areas that drive MSP growth, from sales training to HR and legal, and explains how balancing these areas is critical for scaling up. Paul also discusses the importance of peer benchmarking, the impact of recurring revenue, and how specialization can boost your business’s value. Listeners will walk away with practical tips on maximizing margins, leveraging vendor relationships, and preparing for private equity interest or a future sale.

Paul offers exclusive discount codes for listeners to access his business evaluation tools, making it easier than ever to get a real snapshot of your MSP’s value and actionable steps to improve it. Whether you’re just starting out or eyeing your exit, this episode is packed with real advice you can use right now.
