Small businesses that need reliable IT — without the complexity or the cost of a large provider.

You run a small business — probably 1 to 20 people. You're not a law firm, an accountancy practice, or an estate agency. You might be a consultancy, a small office, a trades business with a few vans, a retailer, or simply a team that's grown past the point where one person can manage everything themselves.

What you need isn't complicated. You need email that works, files you can access, devices that don't let you down, and someone who picks up the phone when something goes wrong — not a ticket queue and a three-day wait.

  • Consultancies and professional services firms
  • Trades businesses and contractors with office staff
  • Small retailers and hospitality businesses
  • Any team of 1–20 people relying on day-to-day IT

Not the right fit if: you need 24/7 enterprise-level managed services or a large outsourced IT department. We're a small, direct provider — which is exactly what makes us the right choice for most small businesses.

What small businesses typically come to us with

"Everything was fine until it wasn't"

A device fails, someone can't get into their email, or the printer stops working on the one day it matters. Small businesses often have no one to call in that moment.

"We've grown but our IT hasn't"

What worked for two people doesn't scale to seven. Shared folders get chaotic, licences aren't managed, and new starters take days to set up properly.

"We don't know what we don't know"

No backup in place, passwords shared in a spreadsheet, old accounts never removed. A quick review often turns up straightforward fixes that significantly reduce risk.

The IT problems that cost small businesses time they don't have

💻

Devices that slow everyone down

Old laptops, failing hard drives, and machines that take ten minutes to start up. Slow devices are a productivity drain that's easy to ignore until it becomes unbearable.

📶

Unreliable Wi-Fi and connectivity

Dead zones in the office, video calls that drop, or a broadband line that causes daily frustration. Connectivity problems are fixable — but often left unaddressed for too long.

👤

New starters that take too long to set up

A new employee joins but doesn't have the right access, the right apps, or a properly configured device. Every day they're not fully set up is a cost to the business.

💾

No proper backup in place

Files saved only to a single laptop, no cloud backup, no tested recovery process. One hardware failure away from losing work that can't be recovered.

🔐

Basic security gaps

Shared passwords, no multi-factor authentication, old accounts still active for people who left. Small businesses are targeted precisely because these gaps are common.

🖨️

Printers and peripherals that misbehave

A printer that works for one person but not another. Scanners that stop connecting. Equipment that requires a ritual to get working. All of it fixable — and worth fixing.

Practical IT support built around how small businesses actually operate

  • Shared mailbox and calendar setup
  • Teams for internal communication

  • Router and switch configuration
  • Broadband troubleshooting and ISP liaison

🔧

General Support & Troubleshooting

A direct number to call when something goes wrong — without a ticket queue, a call centre, or a three-day wait.

  • Remote support for quick issues
  • On-site visits when needed
  • Hardware repair and replacement advice
  • Software issues and updates
  • Vendor and ISP liaison on your behalf

What working with us looks like in practice.

You get a direct contact. When something breaks or needs doing, you call or email us directly. We respond quickly and get it sorted — without a ticket system, a call centre, or being passed between departments.

For retainer clients, we carry out regular checks — backup verification, a quick security review, and flagging anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem. For ad-hoc clients, you contact us when something needs doing, we agree a price upfront, and complete it. No ongoing commitment required.

Free initial review

We look at your current setup — devices, email, storage, backup, security — and tell you honestly what needs attention and what can wait.

2

Clear, agreed pricing

Retainer from £199/month, or ad-hoc per job. Agreed upfront — no open-ended billing or surprise invoices.

3

Direct support when you need it

You have a direct contact. Call when something breaks. We respond, fix it, and don't require you to log a ticket first.

No long-term lock-in

Start with ad-hoc support if you're not sure. Move to a retainer when it makes sense. We'd rather earn your trust first.

Questions from small business owners

The smaller you are, the more a single IT problem can grind you to a halt. Even a two-person business benefits from having a reliable contact for when something breaks, a backup that actually works, and the basics of security in place. We price our support to make sense for small teams — it doesn't have to be expensive to be effective.
Both options are available. Ad-hoc support means you contact us when something needs doing — we scope it, agree a price, and get it done. A monthly retainer gives you priority response, regular check-ins, and a flat monthly cost. Many clients start ad-hoc and move to a retainer once they've seen how we work.
Small offices, consultancies, trades businesses with office staff, small retailers, and any team of 1–20 people that relies on email, shared files, and working devices. We also have specialist pages for law firms, accountants, and estate agents if one of those fits you better — but if you're none of those, this page is for you.
Yes — we handle broadband setup and activation, router and network configuration, device setup and data transfer, and making sure everything is connected and working before you start trading from the new location. It's one of the more common things we do for growing businesses.
Retainer clients get priority — typically within a couple of hours for urgent issues, often faster. Ad-hoc clients are seen as quickly as our schedule allows. We operate directly without a call centre, so when you contact us, you're speaking to the person who will actually fix the problem.

Get your IT sorted — without the enterprise runaround.
