What is it costing you?
We look at interrupted work, account ownership, security, staff access and data risk — not just the device or app name.

How Business IT support works
- 1Tell us what happened
Choose the closest starting point and describe the problem in your own words.
- 2We work out the next step
We use the business impact and technical context to decide what should happen next.
- 3You approve paid work
Ask for an assessment first, or authorise up to the first hour. No surprise open-ended work.
- 4Keep everything together
Messages, approvals, bookings and invoices stay connected in your Business Workspace.
Start with the business problem Something isn't working Not sure everything is right I need something set up Protect accounts, files and continuity
What do you need help with?
Choose the closest option. We will ask only for the business context that helps us triage the request: what is affected, how much work is being interrupted, how urgent it is and whether anything important is at risk.
Fix an IT Problem
Email, Microsoft 365, a computer, Wi-Fi, printer or business software is stopping someone from getting work done.
- Tell us what is affected
- Tell us whether one person or the wider business is affected
- Describe what you see, not what you think the technical cause is
Check My Business IT
A practical health check for computers, Microsoft 365, accounts, Wi-Fi, backups and security, focused on what your business actually uses.
- Choose the area worrying you most
- Tell us your approximate team size
- Get practical priorities rather than a large technical audit
Set Up or Change My IT
New staff, new computers, Microsoft 365 changes, printers, Wi-Fi, an office move or another planned technology change.
- Tell us what is changing
- Choose when you need it
- We can confirm scope before paid work starts
Protect My Business IT
Backups, MFA, account recovery, suspicious activity, old staff access or planning for what happens when an important computer or account fails.
- Tell us what you are concerned about
- Flag possible data loss, account compromise or money at risk
- We prioritise the safest next action
Small business technology support
Help with the systems your business relies on every day.
You do not need an team-only IT department or an ongoing monthly IT support contract. We can help with one problem, one change, or a practical check of the setup you already have.

Outlook, Microsoft 365 accounts, licences, OneDrive, shared mailboxes, MFA, sign-in problems and access changes.

Clear approval before paid work
When the job length is uncertain, you stay in control.
IT faults are not always predictable by the hour. Instead of pretending every problem can be quoted in advance, we use staged approval.
$150/hour including GST
Assessment first: send the problem for review without choosing a booking time or approving paid troubleshooting.
Or authorise the first hour: approve up to $150 inc GST after we accept and confirm the work. We ask again before exceeding that limit.
Need a larger troubleshooting ceiling? When an approved ceiling is recorded for the request, the Business Workspace can show that current approval. Paid work must stay within the authorised scope or ceiling until you approve a further stage.
Hourly troubleshooting vs a repair/project quote — see the difference →
Submitting a request does not itself take payment or confirm an appointment. Approval is separate from the Intent Score and from booking readiness. Your Business Workspace
One place for the support history your business needs.
Once work starts, your Business Workspace keeps each request organised. Every job has its own Messages & updates area, so the conversation and decisions stay attached to the correct problem.
- Messages & updatesThe conversation and updates stay with the correct request.
- Work approvalsReview proposed work and approve the next stage when needed.
- BookingsAppointment actions remain connected to the request.
- Invoices & historyFollow invoices, completed requests and business support records in one place.
Not sure which IT option?
Just describe what the technology problem is doing to the business.
You do not need to diagnose it or choose a technical category. Describe what is affected and what you can no longer do; we will link it to the right IT or software path.
No contract required
Use us for one problem, a planned change or a practical IT review. A request does not lock you into ongoing support.
Work with us
Not every business conversation is an IT job.
For partnerships, investment, referrals, suppliers, media or community opportunities, send one message. Our Intent System can suggest the link, but a person reviews and responds. There is no booking or paid-work approval in this path.

Before you request help
Do I need an IT support contract?
No. Business IT support is available pay-as-you-go for one-off problems, checks and planned changes.
What if I do not know what is wrong?
Describe what you see and what the problem is stopping you from doing. You do not need to diagnose the technical cause.
How do you charge when you do not know how long a fault will take?
You can request an assessment first. If you want work to begin, you can authorise up to the first hour at $150 including GST; we ask again before going beyond that approved limit.
Can you help remotely and onsite?
Yes, depending on the problem and availability. Many Microsoft 365, email and software issues can be handled remotely; physical and network problems may need onsite or drop-off support.
Can you help with Microsoft 365 and business email?
Yes. Common work includes Outlook, Microsoft 365 accounts, licences, OneDrive, shared mailboxes, MFA, sign-in and access issues.
What happens if troubleshooting could take longer than the amount I approved?
We use the recorded approval boundary for that request. If more paid troubleshooting or a wider scope is needed, the next stage should be explained and approved before work goes beyond the current authorised amount or scope.
Where do messages, approvals and invoices go?
Business customers can use the Business Workspace. Each request has its own Messages & updates area, with related messages, booking actions, approvals and invoices kept together.
Different need?

If your technology works but repetitive admin, enquiry handling or process problems are slowing the business down, explore the software and AI service separately.
