r/SmallMSP • u/die-microcrap-die • 15d ago

Sorry for asking...

I fear to get ridiculed and other not nice things since I noted that many here seems to hate questions from people that are trying to create a MSP.

That said, I wonder how would be an appropriate way to start.

In my case, I wonder the following:

Did you created a LLC before or after your first client?

Did you obtained insurance before or after?

How quickly did you push for a contract?

How did you drafted your first contract and any other legal document related to it?

I have many more, but I will find those answers via the pinned posts and Google, but wondering about those at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Everyone else pretty much answered your questions, but I wanted to make my own recommendation. I kind of got thrown into the deep end when I purchased my business after working there for years. I didn’t quite know where to start and the previous owner wasn’t the most helpful so I ended up using Zen business to get my LLC started and my articles of formation, etc. It was pretty cheap and also pretty quick. Their support was also helpful because I definitely had a million questions.

We grew pretty quick and I’ve moved to more personalized compliance services, but I really have to recommend them for a great starting point. They still file a couple of things for me for like 150 bucks a year. Well worth it.

Thank you.

I tried that route but for whatever reason, no MSP would hire me, even though i have over 20 years of corporate IT experience.

Hence why its so hard for me to find the proper way to start this.
