Fractional IT & Business IT Setup
Email, domains, DNS, cloud hosting, backups, accounts, permissions, suppliers. Most small organisations have someone who knows a piece of it, but nobody holding the whole setup. We take that seat.
Part business IT implementation, part fractional technology owner. We set up the tools properly, consolidate what is scattered, document who owns what, and stay involved where that is useful. Senior enough to own the estate, without the cost of a department. What the role covers, and what it costs.
What we take on
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, website hosting, file storage, booking systems, CRM, cloud platforms, backups. We pick tools that fit how you work and cost what they should, and we'll tell you when the one you already have is fine.
Email depends on DNS. Websites depend on hosting. Forms feed the CRM. Automations rely on all of it. We understand how the pieces fit, fix what is ours to fix, and make sure the rest lands with the right person.
A register for everything: every domain, mailbox, website, and subscription, with who owns it, what it costs, and when it renews. Duplicated and forgotten subscriptions get found and cancelled along the way.
Email migrations, hosting changes, domain transfers, and cloud handovers get sequenced so nothing goes offline and nothing gets lost. Fallbacks planned before anything is touched.
Important accounts end up in the business's name, not tied to an old employee, freelancer, or personal inbox. Admin access is protected with MFA, permissions are cleaned up, and you know who can get into what.
Backups checked, missing backups created, and recovery tested so you know they actually work. Admin access gets tightened and the obvious security gaps closed. Not enterprise theatre. Practical protection for the systems the business depends on.
How it works
The most dangerous thing you can do to a tangled setup is start changing it before you understand it. So we don't.
Fixed fee, credited if you continue
We build the inventory and verify it against live records: registrations, renewal dates, DNS, mail routing, hosting, backups, access, and suppliers. You get a written setup map with the cost picture, the risks ranked, and a practical roadmap. Nothing is changed during this phase, by design.
Fixed scope, quoted up front
The setup work. Email migrations, DNS gets cleaned up, providers you should not be with get exited, hosting gets simpler, backups get planned, and credentials get secured. All of it is sequenced so nothing goes offline.
Monthly retainer, cancel any month
One point of contact for the estate: renewals watched, accounts kept tidy, suppliers coordinated, and practical decisions made before they become emergencies. If you only need upkeep after everything is already in good shape, that is where Ongoing Systems Support fits.
Who it's for
You may not need a full-time IT manager, but someone still has to own the domains, email, hosting, accounts, backups, suppliers, and decisions. That is the gap this fills.
Unclear ownership turns small problems into expensive ones: missed renewals, lost admin access, old supplier accounts, and systems nobody can safely change. Getting the setup owned, documented, and recoverable makes the business less dependent on memory and luck.
We will tell you whether it needs a quick fix, a setup project, or a short discovery first, and what the sensible next step would cost.
