Becoming an MSP
Whether you’re working in freelance IT consulting, a break-fix shop, or as a small reseller, you’re well positioned to convert your IT expertise into an established managed service provider. That said, as you start to build your MSP business, you’ll develop plans, processes, and systems that previously weren’t on your radar – let alone in your skillset.
The good news is, as an IT professional you already have the technical expertise and connections needed to start supporting your first clients. To help with everything else, we’ve collected tools, advice, and practical guides from our global community of MSP partners and our network of IT channel gurus. Use these resources to help you along the way as you make your MSP a reality.
