Frequently Asked Questions

How much do managed IT services cost for a small business?

Our pricing depends on your business size, tech environment, and service needs. We offer flat-rate plans tailored for small businesses. No surprise fees, and no long-term contracts unless you want one.

Do I need managed IT services if I already have someone handling IT internally?

Yes. Many of our clients have internal IT staff, and we work alongside them to lighten the load. Whether it's handling day-to-day support, managing backups, or adding specialized expertise, we’re here to make their job easier, not take it over.

What does your free IT assessment include?

We’ll evaluate your current systems, identify any risks or inefficiencies, and provide clear recommendations—no strings attached. It’s a helpful way to see where you stand and what improvements are possible.

How fast can you respond if something breaks?

We offer 24/7 support with fast response times, especially for critical issues. Most support requests are handled the same day, and emergencies are triaged immediately.

Can you help with compliance requirements like HIPAA or PCI?

Absolutely. We have experience helping small businesses meet compliance requirements in industries like healthcare, finance, and legal, and our services are built with those standards in mind.
