SMALL BUSINESS IT · CHICAGOLAND
For small teams with no one on staff doing IT full time. Help desk, 24/7 security monitoring, backups and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, for one monthly fee per person.
IS THIS YOU?
Small companies rarely decide to hire an IT provider. Something usually decides for them.
Passwords, printers, new laptops and the Wi-Fi all land on someone who was hired to do something else.
Someone comes out when it breaks, sends an invoice, and nothing is done to stop it breaking again.
Antivirus on some computers, no multi-factor sign-in, and backups nobody has tested. The cyber insurance form asks about all of it.
Software and licenses that renew every year, including for people who left long ago.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
One monthly fee per person covers the ongoing service, with no hourly bills for covered work.
Unlimited remote support by phone, email or chat, so people ask early.
Help Desk →
The same security stack our larger clients get, on every plan.
Cybersecurity →
Computers and the network watched, patched and kept current.
Monitoring & Maintenance →
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace run properly and backed up apart from the platform.
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace →
CYBERSECURITY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
Attackers go after small businesses because the defenses are usually thinner. That is why security comes with every plan and is never an add-on.
A security operations center monitors your computers and accounts 24/7 and can isolate a compromised device right away.
Email filtering catches most attacks before the inbox, and short training helps your team spot the rest.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace data backed up apart from the platform, with restores tested.
We complete the technical sections of your application and attest to the controls we actually run, at no extra charge.
Managed IT starts at $130 per user per month. A user is a person, not a device, and part-time staff, email-only users and shared computers are priced to match what they actually use.
Your tickets go into the same queue, with the same response times, as every other client. Priority is set by what the problem stops, not by the size of your account.

FAQ
Managed IT starts at $130 per user per month, and the plan you choose sets how much on-site support is included. There is a monthly minimum, explained on our How We Work page, because the security stack costs about the same for four people as for eleven. Projects, hardware and licenses are quoted before any work starts.
No. Your tickets go into the same queue, with the same response times, as every other client. Priority is set by what the problem stops, not by the size of your account.
Often you need part of it. Many clients have someone who handles IT, and we work alongside them on 24/7 security monitoring, help desk overflow or projects. That arrangement is Co-Managed IT, and they keep control.
An engineer reviews your computers, accounts, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace setup, network and backups, remotely or on-site. You then get a findings presentation ranked by risk with a 30/60/90-day plan, and what we find is yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
Response times are written into our Service Level Agreement: 30 minutes for a critical issue during business hours and 1 hour after hours. An on-call engineer covers emergencies from 7 AM to 11 PM Central, and security monitoring runs 24/7.
Yes. We run the technical controls these requirements ask about and hand you the evidence, and we complete the technical sections of cyber insurance applications at no extra charge. We are not your auditor or compliance consultant.
