Niobrara Capital has acquired MSP Corp, a scaled Canadian managed IT services provider, as it looks to expand across a fragmented North American market.
NEW YORK, September 16, 2026. Niobrara Capital has acquired MSP Corp, a scaled Canadian managed IT services provider. MSP remotely manages IT infrastructure, cybersecurity and cloud environments for small and midsize business clients. Niobrara is a U.S.-based private equity firm focused on middle-market B2B technology and technology-enabled services companies. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
MSP was founded in 1993 as a founder-led Canadian technology partner. The company built a full-service platform for businesses that need outsourced technology management. Its offerings span managed IT monitoring and support, managed cybersecurity, multi-cloud management, and backup and disaster recovery. MSP also provides emerging services in data compliance and artificial intelligence.

"MSP has built a scaled national platform with impressive customer retention and a proven acquisition track record, giving it an established foundation to accelerate growth," said Otavio Birman, Managing Director at Niobrara Capital.
