Typical Process
Quintes Capital has built the most active M&A practice for regional ISPs and telecom operators in Brazil. We have advised on 12+ closed transactions in the sector, representing over R$650MM in total volume and connecting operators with strategic acquirers and institutional investors.
Our methodology is built on a deep understanding of telecom-specific value drivers: ARPU trends, churn behavior, infrastructure footprint, spectrum position, and competitive dynamics in each municipality. We do not apply generic financial advisory to telecom — we speak the language of the sector.
We work with operators ranging from R$5MM to R$150MM in ARR, across all subsectors: ISPs, MVNOs, fiber wholesalers, and B2B connectivity providers. Our buyer network includes the largest Brazilian telcos, regional consolidators, and PE funds with active telecom mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key questions about telecom M&A in Brazil.
Regional ISP acquisitions in Brazil typically trade at 7–10× EBITDA, depending on churn rate, infrastructure footprint, subscriber concentration, and growth trajectory. Operators with sub-1.5% monthly churn and fiber-only infrastructure command the upper end of this range.
A structured ISP sale process typically takes 6 to 12 months from mandate signing to deal closing — 4–6 weeks of preparation, 8–12 weeks of buyer outreach and LOI negotiation, and 10–16 weeks of due diligence and definitive agreement.
ISP buyers fall into three categories: (1) large Brazilian telcos consolidating fiber coverage; (2) PE-backed regional consolidators; and (3) international infrastructure funds entering Brazil through acquisitions.
Most institutional buyers target ISPs with at least R$5MM in ARR. The R$20MM–R$150MM range attracts the widest competitive buyer pool. Below R$5MM, owners typically partner with roll-up platforms rather than run a standalone process.
Quintes Capital uses a proprietary methodology combining EBITDA multiples (7–10×), ARR-based analysis, and a churn-adjusted DCF model. Key inputs include MRR, monthly churn, subscriber count, infrastructure capex, and competitive positioning in each municipality.
