IT help for your small business.
You don’t need an IT department to get help with your business’s technology. I can look after the everyday problems and help you plan what needs to change.
IT support
Your shop’s Wi-Fi keeps dropping out, or a staff member can’t get into their account.
I help with everyday faults and the systems behind them, from software rollouts to changes in your business infrastructure.
You can also just ask a question, like whether it’s time to replace a work computer or what a warning message means.

Devices and internet
Windows and Mac computers, with help for printers and the equipment connected to them. I also investigate slow connections and patchy Wi-Fi.
Business accounts
I administer Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, from staff accounts and groups to email rules. I also review permissions and sharing settings.
Software and policies
I roll out applications and set up device policies, including updates through Intune or another management tool. New starters get a consistent setup.
Physical and cloud infrastructure
I set up and manage physical servers, Active Directory and file servers, and cloud infrastructure. It might be a new environment or a planned improvement to what’s already there.
Handover notes. A short note on what I changed and anything still to sort out.
Advice & planning
You’re paying for apps you barely use, or typing the same information into two places.
I’ll review your apps and how work gets done, then recommend practical improvements. It’s also a useful second opinion before buying equipment or switching providers.

Software reviews
I review how your apps fit together and where subscriptions overlap, then recommend ways to get more from the tools you already pay for.
SharePoint and shared files
I organise SharePoint sites or shared folders around how your team works, with clear permissions. Plans also cover access when people join or leave.
Simpler ways to work
If you do the same task by hand every week, I’ll look at whether linking your existing tools, or a small automation, could do it for you.
Documentation
Plain notes on how the setup works, so the business isn’t relying on one person remembering everything.
Handover notes. A written summary of what I found, with the changes worth making first.
Websites, email & domains
You want a place to show customers what you do, or email that uses your business name.
I build websites and online stores around what your business needs. I can also manage changes to an existing site or plan a move to a different host or platform.
I also set up email on your own domain with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, and move your old email across.
Ask about a website
Handover notes. Your website and accounts stay in your name, and you get notes on how to manage them.
Security & backups
You’re not sure who still has access to your accounts, or whether your backups would work if you needed them.
I review how your business accounts and devices are protected, and how you’d recover important files. I can also put the agreed improvements in place.

Security posture reviews
I review the settings and controls you rely on, then explain the gaps and which improvements are worth tackling first.
Backup and retention
I set up backups for business data, including SharePoint where needed. Retention settings are agreed with you, and restore tests check the recovery process.
Identity and access
I set up sign-in protection and access policies in Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace. I also review permissions when staff join or leave.
Email security
Email authentication to help reduce messages pretending to come from your domain. I can also review phishing protection.
Networks and remote access
Business Wi-Fi and firewall setup, using tools such as FortiGate. Remote access through Tailscale or a VPN.
Password management
A password manager for your business, such as Keeper, with staff access set up around who needs what.
