Buy a CMIT Solutions Franchise

CMIT Solutions is a managed IT services franchise serving small and mid-sized businesses across North America. Founded in 1994 and franchising since 1998, it operates as a managed service provider (MSP), delivering outsourced technology support under predictable monthly contracts rather than one-off repair work.

Franchisees provide a full range of business IT services: network management and monitoring, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, data backup and disaster recovery, unified communications, compliance support, and hardware and software procurement. The model is built on recurring subscription revenue, with long-term client relationships that require a smaller customer base than a transactional break-fix IT business.

With more than 275 locations, CMIT is one of the largest managed IT services networks in North America and has passed $100 million in system-wide revenue. Each franchisee runs a protected territory backed by national vendor relationships and a corporate support team, combining the buying power of a national network with locally owned service. Owners act as business leaders and trusted IT advisors rather than hands-on technicians.

Why buy a CMIT Solutions Franchise?

Buying a CMIT Solutions franchise offers entry into a recurring-revenue service business in a category that has stayed resilient as organisations of every size depend more heavily on technology and cybersecurity. The subscription-based MSP model produces predictable monthly income and long-term client relationships, which tend to support stronger business valuations than project-dependent IT work.

The franchise pairs local ownership with the leverage of a national system. National alliance and vendor relationships give franchisees competitive pricing and access to enterprise-grade tools, while protected territories and an established brand help owners win SMB clients who prefer a local, accountable IT partner. Because owners lead the business and employ technical staff, the model suits capable managers without IT backgrounds.

CMIT Solutions – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners complete remote pre-training followed by an intensive in-person program, with 120 hours of classroom training covering marketing, sales and operations, plus ongoing on-the-job training and continuing education to maintain certification. Franchisees operate on the ConnectWise platform and receive ongoing marketing support, field operations guidance and access to national vendor relationships. Buyers of an existing CMIT unit should confirm what transfer training and ConnectWise system access the franchisor provides to incoming owners and any inherited technical staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    CMIT Solutions suits business-minded leaders rather than hands-on technicians; most franchisees come from sales, management or corporate backgrounds, and no prior IT experience is required. Owners lead the business by building client relationships, networking with local SMBs, managing a team of IT professionals and growing their territory. The role rewards people who are organised, coachable, relationship-driven and comfortable following a proven system. A community-minded, consultative approach helps owners become the trusted technology advisor for businesses across their territory.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    CMIT Solutions has ranked on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 for sixteen consecutive years, earning its 2026 placement, and received Franchise Business Review Franchise Satisfaction Awards in both 2025 and 2026 based on direct franchisee feedback. The brand is recognised as one of North America's largest managed IT services networks and maintains strong technology-partner relationships, including with ConnectWise. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's reputation, including local client reviews, referral sources and standing within the business community.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US managed services market was worth roughly $63 billion in 2025 and is forecast to grow steadily through the early 2030s, driven by small and mid-sized businesses outsourcing IT, rising cybersecurity threats and continued cloud adoption. Many SMBs lack in-house technology teams and prefer a predictable monthly contract over reactive repair costs, supporting recurring demand. The category has proved resilient because technology, security and compliance are essential operating costs rather than discretionary spending, an important factor for resale buyers assessing the durability of a unit's contract base.
