Common IT Challenges Facing UK Small Businesses

We talk to business owners every day who are frustrated with unpredictable IT costs, frequent downtime, and support companies that don’t understand their needs. Our affordable IT support helps solve these challenges:

Unpredictable IT Costs

Break-fix support bills are a nasty surprise. One major server failure can cost thousands, with no way to budget for it.

Frequent Downtime

Your team can't work when systems are down. Every hour of downtime costs you money and frustrates your customers.

Slow Support Response

Waiting hours or days for support means lost productivity. Your business can't afford to be offline while you wait for help.

Security Concerns

Cyber threats are increasing, but security solutions seem expensive and complex. You're worried about protecting customer data.

No IT Strategy

Your IT just 'happens' without planning. You're not sure if you're using the right tools or if there's a better way.

Outgrown DIY IT

What worked when you had 5 employees doesn't work with 20. You need professional support but worry about the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Affordable IT Support

What makes your IT support affordable?

We keep costs low through efficiency, not cutting corners. Our proactive monitoring prevents expensive emergencies. Our UK-based team (no expensive London offices) serves clients nationwide remotely. And our flat-rate pricing means no surprise bills. You get enterprise-quality support at £15 per workstation per month—about the same as a couple of takeaway coffees per person.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. We offer one-year rolling agreements. We believe in earning your business every month by delivering exceptional service, not trapping you in a multi-year contract. If you’re not happy, you can leave—no penalties, no fees, no hassle.

How quickly do you respond to support requests?

Our average response time is under 15 minutes during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8am-5:30pm). Critical issues get immediate attention—we prioritise based on business impact. After-hours emergency support is available for critical issues like total network outages or server failures.

Can affordable IT support really be as good as expensive providers?

Yes. The big London IT firms charge £50-100+ per workstation for the same services we provide from £25. They have expensive offices, high overheads, and aggressive sales teams. We’re based in Portland, Dorset, and serve clients nationwide remotely—that’s how we keep costs low while maintaining quality. Our clients often tell us we’re more responsive than their previous expensive providers.

What size businesses do you work with?

Our sweet spot is 10-100 employees across any industry. Whether you’re a retail shop, professional services firm, healthcare practice, manufacturing company, or anything else, our solutions scale to fit your needs. Below 10 users, you might not need full managed services yet. Above 100, you might benefit from dedicated on-site IT staff—though many larger companies still choose us for the value and expertise.

Do you charge extra for after-hours support?

After-hours support for critical emergencies (server down, total network outage, security incident) is included in your monthly fee. Non-urgent requests submitted after hours are handled first thing the next business morning. If you need 24/7 support for non-critical issues, we can discuss a custom plan.

What happens if we're not happy with the service?

First, please tell us—we’ll do everything possible to make it right. We take feedback seriously and want you to be genuinely happy. If you’re still not satisfied after we’ve tried to resolve the issue, you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. No penalties, no fees, no hard feelings. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for new clients—if you’re not happy in the first month, you don’t pay.

How do we get started?

Book a free 30-minute consultation using the button below. We’ll discuss your current IT setup, challenges, and goals—no sales pressure. Then we’ll provide a custom proposal showing exactly what we’ll do and what it costs. If it makes sense for your business, we can typically start within 7 days. The onboarding process usually takes 2-3 weeks to fully transition your systems to our management.
