A New Kind of MSP Partner for the Northeastern U.S.
14 acquisitions. 4 across the U.S. A platform built to grow the businesses we partner with
We‘re a cross-border MSP platform investing in owner-operators who want their business to keep growing under their name, with their team, after the deal closes. The Northeast is home to thousands of MSP businesses built by founders who spent decades earning the trust of their clients, and their employees, and must decide what the long term looks like. We started in Canada because that‘s where we‘re from. We‘ve expanded into the U.S. because the opportunity to build a true cross-border MSP platform, one that respects regional brands while sharing infrastructure, sales leadership, and best practices across partner companies, is one of the most exciting strategic opportunities in today‘s rapidly changing technology landscape.
What our U.S. partners are saying
Besides the currency and the 2026 Olympic hockey bragging rights, from a business standpoint there are no core differences, we all use the same tech stack, share a similar culture, and speak the same language. AYCE isn’t a typical Canadian MSP, though; they have the resources of a major player, a strong respect for maintaining brand legacy, and a youthful, high‑energy approach that helps ensure my business lasts beyond me and continues to thrive.
– Mike Collins, Founder, ITG, New York
What sets AYCE a part is their forward-thinking mindset.

Their expertise and strategic insight have already added tremendous value to our organization.
– Shannon King, President, Resilient Networks, Vermont
Working with AYCE was truly a positive experience. Their professionalism, empathy, and commitment to creating a seamless transition made the process far easier than I ever expected. I am grateful for their partnership and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a way to transition their own entrepreneurial organization to a going concern.
– Jonathan Husni, President, Acendex, Ohio

FAQs
1. What can I expect from the sale process?
The process begins with an introductory call to determine mutual fit. If we move forward, we sign a confidentiality agreement and review high-level financials to prepare a Letter of Intent (LOI), typically within a few weeks. After the LOI, we complete due diligence and finalize the acquisition. From LOI to close, the process generally takes up to 90 days, though many transactions close sooner.
We’re a small team, but we believe this plays to our benefit, you can expect to always speak with the decision maker – no boards, investment committees, or corporate bureaucracy stopping us from coming to solutions in real-time on any issue.
2. What do your deal structures look like?
A: We can offer 100% cash at close, but we are highly flexible in structuring deals to maximize value for sellers. This may include a combination of earn-outs, seller notes, and rollover equity. Above all, the most important thing for us in a deal is working with good people executing good processes, and we’re flexible to make a win-win deal after that.
3. What is the value of my business?
Valuation is based on multiple factors. There’s the numbers side: how much do you make in revenue, in profit, how are these growing, how high quality is revenue and profits; and then there’s the qualitative side: how experienced is your team, how strong are client relationships. We encourage you to reach out and we’d be happy to set up a call with our CEO so we can learn more and answer your questions.
4. What happens to my role after I sell?
Your role after closing is entirely flexible and depends on your personal and professional goals. We’ve supported founders who wanted to be on a beach enjoying retirement in as early as six months, as well as owners who chose to remain actively involved in running the business long-term.
5. What happens to my employees after I sell?
People are the heart that drives a successful MSP. Our goal is to retain all employees after closing and provide them with expanded career opportunities, improved tools, and additional resources, while maintaining the culture that made your business successful in the first place.
6. What happens to my customers after I sell?
We take a decentralized approach that ensures your customers continue working with the same trusted team they rely on today. With AYCE’s added support and resources, your customers benefit from enhanced capabilities while maintaining the relationships they value most.
7. What happens to my brand after I sell?
Merging brands is not our strategy. Our approach is to keep brands independent and ensure your company’s brand and reputation continue to thrive though adding AYCE support and resources.
8. What is the “Capital” in “AYCE Capital”?
AYCE Capital is backed by committed capital from Ashbridge Capital Partners, a Toronto‑based family office.
