Actively Managed

Proactive IT for
growing teams.

Fully managed IT for teams that need it running quietly in the background. Active monitoring, monthly inclusive hours, and health reporting so you always know what's happening. Priced per device to scale with you.

Who this is for

Made for teams where downtime hurts.

Business Pro fits growing companies past the DIY stage. You've hit the point where "hoping nothing breaks" isn't a strategy any more. You need someone monitoring and maintaining the setup so problems get caught before they hit you.

Teams of 5 to 30 people

Growing operations. Enough people that IT problems compound. One broken laptop can cost a day of billable work.

Downtime has real cost

Businesses where an outage costs real revenue. Client work, billable hours, deadlines. You need issues caught before they hit you.

Growing, needing stability

Companies scaling from 5 to 30 people. IT that worked for 5 falls apart at 15. You need proactive management, not reactive fixes.

What's included

Actively managed, not just supported.

The core distinction between Business Pro and Essential: we watch your systems, not just fix them when they break. From £225 a month for up to 5 devices.

✓

Dedicated VITM with 3 inclusive hours per month

Your named engineer, with 3 hours of support baked in every month. Any overage at your preferential retainer rate.

✓

24/7 automated monitoring and alerting

Every device continuously watched. We spot disk failures, malware, expired certificates and dozens of other issues before you notice.

✓

Endpoint Protection for 5 devices

Enterprise antivirus, ransomware defence and rollback for up to 5 devices. Additional licences available.

✓

Preferential support rates

Overage support at £45 per hour remote, £65 per hour on-site. Same retainer rate as Essential.

✓

Monthly health and activity reporting

A short monthly report on what we did, what we caught and what needs attention. Written in plain language, not jargon.

✓

Windows and macOS, up to 5 devices

Full mixed-platform coverage. Additional devices via a scoped add-on when you grow past 5.

How we work with you

A monthly rhythm, not just a phone line.

Business Pro is a proper management engagement. Monitoring runs 24/7 in the background, human support runs business hours, and we build a monthly review rhythm that keeps things tidy over time.

01

Onboarding, weeks 1 and 2

Free review and audit of your current setup. We deploy monitoring agents, document your environment and take over vendor contacts.

02

Baseline, month 1

Monitoring builds a baseline of your systems. We surface anything that's been quietly wrong for months. Usually there's a few things.

03

Monthly cadence

Continuous monitoring, reactive support in business hours, monthly health report. Your VITM proactively flags issues before they escalate.

04

Quarterly review

Every three months a light review with you: how the plan's fitting, what's changed in your business, whether device count needs adjusting.

Common questions

Things people usually ask.

What does "actively managed" actually mean?

Every device runs a monitoring agent that reports health continuously. When something changes, whether it's a disk starting to fail, unusual traffic, or a security patch missed, we see it and act. You don't have to notice, and often you don't have to be told either.

What happens if I go over my 3 monthly hours?

Additional support is billed at your preferential retainer rate of £45 per hour remote, £65 per hour on-site. If overage is consistent, we'll suggest Business Unlimited so you're not accumulating surprise line items.

Can we add more devices later?

Yes, in per-device add-ons. If you consistently exceed the 5-device cap (typically past 8 or 10), Business Unlimited is usually the better fit.

Do you handle vendor relationships?

For most business software (Microsoft 365, backup, security), yes. We manage licences, escalations and renewals. For specialist vendors we can liaise but wouldn't take contract ownership without discussion.

What's the difference between Business Pro and Business Unlimited?

Business Pro is managed IT. We watch, maintain and support your setup. Business Unlimited is a fully-integrated IT function. Fractional CIO leadership, unlimited support, quarterly business reviews. Bigger organisations, deeper engagement.

How quickly do you respond to incidents?

Monitoring catches most issues before you notice. For reported incidents we prioritise anything critical first, then work through everything else in the order it lands.
