The process begins with understanding the owner’s goals and gathering accurate financial and operational data. We review twelve months of revenue and expenses, customer metrics such as retention and churn, infrastructure details, and vendor agreements. Once this information is validated, we prepare materials that present the business clearly and credibly to potential buyers. This ensures that the company is positioned in the best possible way to maximize value.

Smaller transactions can be completed in as little as two or three months, while mid-sized companies often take four to six months. Larger and more complex deals, particularly those involving multiple jurisdictions, tend to take longer. The exact timeline depends on the quality of the company’s data, the responsiveness of both sides, and the complexity of the legal and technical integrations. Our goal is to shorten the process without sacrificing value.

Many professionals in the hosting industry come across companies considering a sale, but they are not directly involved in M&A. We allow them to introduce us to those opportunities. If a referred company goes on to complete a transaction with us, the referrer is compensated. This makes it possible for consultants, vendors, and other insiders to benefit financially without taking on the responsibility of managing the deal.

We are interested in any legitimate hosting company that is exploring the idea of a sale, regardless of size or location. The most valuable introductions are to owners who have a stable business with recurring revenue and who may not know where to begin in finding the right buyer. By connecting them to us, referrers can help those owners achieve a successful outcome while earning a reward for the introduction.

Because we give you access to opportunities you will not find anywhere else. Many hosting business owners would never list their company publicly. They speak to us directly, and we bring these deals only to qualified buyers. When you work with us, you are seeing opportunities that remain invisible to the open market.

We are not generalist brokers – we are people from the hosting industry. We have built companies, developed systems, and completed acquisitions ourselves. We understand how billing platforms, data center agreements, and customer migrations operate in practice. This insider experience allows us to identify risks before they become problems and to highlight opportunities that outsiders would miss.

No. If your numbers don’t support it, the market will not magically pay you seven times more than you’re worth. We are not here to inflate expectations and waste your time or the buyer’s time. What we do is analyze your revenue, customer base, retention, and growth realistically, and then tell you straight what valuation range you can expect. It’s not always what owners want to hear, but it’s always what they need to hear before entering the market.

Potential matters, but valuation is always based on the business you have today, not the one you might build tomorrow. Hosting is not a market that doubles every year, so if the strength of your product, your team, or your brand is truly there, it should already show up in the numbers – whether through growth, retention, or pricing power. Buyers do pay for potential, but only when it’s backed by visible traction. Think of it this way: nobody pays for “what if”; they pay for “what is,” with a premium if the “what is” clearly proves where things are heading.
