Business IT Support:
The 10‑Minute Buyer’s Guide

(Made for Small Business Owners)

If you run a growing business in Seattle or Charlotte, you don’t have time to decode acronyms. You need clear answers: How fast will you respond? Will our data restore? What will this actually cost? This guide gives you a simple test to pick a partner—fast.

The 4 Questions That Predict a Good Experience

  • Response you can measure. Ask for last month’s first‑reply and time‑to‑resolution. Get the report—not just a promise.

  • Backups that restore. Seeing a green “success” light isn’t enough. Ask for a recent restore drill result and when your next test is scheduled.

  • Pricing you can plan around. Pick per‑user or per‑device. Make sure onboarding, after‑hours, and security tooling are explicit.

  • One escalation path. Who owns sticky vendor tickets? How do you reach Tier‑3?

What We Deliver for Seattle & Charlotte Businesses

  • Minutes‑level first replies, with after‑hours coverage.

  • Verified recovery, not just backup status.

  • Plain‑English reporting you can skim in 60 seconds.

  • Local delivery for onsite needs; remote for speed.
