How it works

It starts with a conversation, not a commitment.

Joining the federation is not only a transaction. It is a decision about the future of your company, your people, your customers and your own role. So the first step is low-pressure and confidential, and every step after it is written down before we take it.

The path

Seven steps from coffee to the first 100 days

  1. 01

    Getting to know each other

    A confidential conversation about your ambitions, your numbers and the questions you're trying to answer. The focus is whether there's a reason to explore further, not a deal.

  2. 02

    Assessment & indicative terms

    A secure data room, and Strata, our own market intelligence, to show where you sit, what buyers and investors value and what to fix. You get an indicative structure and value range.

  3. 03

    Heads of terms

    A shared commitment to make it work. The structure, your role, the board, the plan and the key assumptions, in writing, before anything more formal.

  4. 04

    Due diligence

    Financial, commercial, technical and cultural. Done respectfully, because the people, customers and culture are what we're investing in. Fixed-price legals keep costs predictable.

  5. 05

    Signing & completion

    Coffee becomes champagne. The formal start of the next chapter, with communications prepared in advance.

  6. 06

    Announcement

    Team first, then customers, partners and press, with the story you want to tell and the AiGoGo group behind it.

  7. 07

    First 100 days

    Board in a Box live, MSP3.0 tooling installed, supplier economics reset, sales engine running, and benefits tracked expected versus actual every month.

What changes

Some things change. The important things are handled carefully.

You deserve a straight answer. Joining a group always brings change. The goal is to strengthen the company, not to remove the identity that made it worth investing in.

Strategic support

Your leadership team no longer makes every big decision alone. Six operators who have built, bought and sold MSPs sit on your board, monthly.

Governance and reporting

Board-grade management accounts and a clear monthly rhythm. Not control for its own sake: transparency, focus and better conversations.

Access to the MSP3.0 engine

AI agents, automation, JoJo, central finance, supplier economics and the AI-native sales engine, available from day one.

Collaboration

Other member MSP leaders who face the same questions about AI, security, people and sales, and who have often already solved them.

What stays the same

Your name. Your team. Your customers.

Many owners worry that a group means losing what they built. In the federation, the things that make your company valuable stay in place.

  • Your brand stays on the door, unless you choose to change it.
  • Your customers remain your customers, served by your people.
  • Your team keeps its leaders, its culture and its local decision-making.
  • Your role is designed around you continuing to lead, mentor or build.
  • Your company remains a separate company, not a department.

Entrepreneurship does not stop after joining. It should become stronger.

The honest comparison

AiGoGo vs private equity vs a trade sale

Private equity can be right for some owners. So can a trade sale. The right route depends on what you want to protect after the transaction.

Frequently asked

Before you pick up the phone

How confidential is the first conversation?

Completely. Your details go to one named director at AiGoGo, not a broker list. We will sign an NDA before any numbers change hands, and nothing is shared with capital partners or other members without your agreement.

How long does it take?

A first conversation to indicative terms typically takes two to four weeks. Heads of terms to completion depends on the structure and the state of your records, usually eight to sixteen weeks. Our first investment went from first meeting to final due diligence in a quarter.

What size of MSP do you invest in?

From start-ups to established groups. Size matters less than mindset: real customers, recurring revenue and an owner who wants to keep building. Our first investment is one specialist business; the federation and our capital partners are built to welcome larger businesses too.

Do I have to use your legal team?

No. We can introduce a fixed-price seller-legals route that many owners find reassuring, and you are free to use your own advisers.

What if we start and it isn't right?

Then we stop, politely, at any step before signing. If you came in through the accelerate-first route you keep every improvement made along the way.

Every member partnership is an equity partnership: shared ownership of an MSP that keeps its own name, inside the federated MSP3.0 model.

Take the first step. It's only a conversation.

Tell us what you want to happen to your MSP. We'll tell you honestly which route gets you there, and what it could be worth.
