How much does business IT Support cost?

The cost of IT support for a small business in the UK varies. The average price per hour for remote IT Support in the UK is around £85 per hour remotely. However, prices range from £60-120 depending on where you live, with London prices being higher. On-Site support, where an IT specialist will visit you in your business, on average is around £95 per hour plus a call-out fee, but again, prices vary, especially within the capital.

The Benefits of a Managed IT Support Service

An IT Support Contract is an agreement between you (the client) and a managed service provider (MSP). An MSP provides technical support or other IT related services such as cloud data backup for an agreed monthly fee.

SysFix IT Support Ltd provides unlimited IT support for a fixed monthly fee. Taking the advice of an IT professional as either a new start-up business or as a well-established company can save you lots of headaches and ill-advised purchases.
