Do I need an MBA to join?

With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

I run an IT services company that serves private equity and ETAers. Our scope is typically not what you describe. It’s help desk, networking, cybersecurity, hardware procurement, regulatory and compliance, backups, M365 management, AI enablement etc. You likely will need different partners for each component you are looking for as what you need is not typically considered core IT. Maybe ERP for one partner, and website/SEO for another. ERP is going to be specific to the type of ERP you want to implement. The ERP will have many implementation partners to choose from. Website/SEO is Wild West. Find someone specific to your industry who understands the ICP you are trying to reach. Or hire a direct contractor.

Ben, thanks for the input! Our ERP is relatively simple, it is SOS. Are you saying there is a delineation btw a website and ERP integration? The short term need is creating revenue flow through online sales, which obviously interfaces with the brick and mortar ERP. Thanks again for the input.
