Small business IT problems we handle
Common jobs we handle for small offices include:
- Printers dropping off the network: we check how the printer is connected to your office computers and the network, find why it keeps disconnecting, and secure the connection. See our printer setup services.
- Email and Microsoft 365: we set up business mailboxes, add and remove users, manage licences and admin settings, and fix sending, receiving and sign-in problems. See our Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace page.
- Security and account protection: we can set up multi-factor sign-in for Microsoft 365 and secure your office Wi-Fi to help protect staff accounts and your network.
- Backups: we set up backups for your important files and move data between devices or accounts. See data backup and transfer services.
- New staff setups: we create the accounts, email and access a new starter needs so they are ready to start work.
Many of these can be done without a visit through our remote support.
Here is what Chrissy said after we sorted out a printer connection at their office:
"Prakash Parajuli delivered fantastic customer service at our office today! We have had ongoing issues with our printer remaining connected to all our office laptops. We would spend hours every few days or weeks on the phone to epson support and barely could use it. Prakash located the issue and secured the connection. He was very helpful, polite and professional. We will certainly be using this service in the future and requesting Prakash for our needs. Thankyou!"

Common Questions from Melbourne Businesses
How much does managed IT support cost in Melbourne?
Complete managed IT starts at $1,000 per month excluding GST for a business of up to five users, and scales with team size: $1,500 up to 10 users, $2,500 up to 20, $3,500 up to 30, $4,500 up to 40 and $5,500 up to 50. Larger teams are quoted on the same basis. That single price covers Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, website hosting, domain and DNS, DMARC email authentication, managed EDR and ITDR with a 24/7 security operations centre, basic SEO and a business-hours remote help desk. There is no setup fee and no lock-in contract. On-site visits are charged separately at $205 per hour.
Do you offer monthly IT support contracts?
Yes. All our managed IT plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. You can scale up, scale down, or cancel any time. We believe in earning your business every month, not trapping you in a multi-year deal.
Can you set up Microsoft 365 for my team?
Absolutely. We handle full Microsoft 365 deployment -- tenant setup, user provisioning, email migration, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and security policies. We also manage ongoing admin so your licences, users, and security stay up to date.
What size businesses do you support?
We specialise in small-to-medium Melbourne businesses with 5 to 50 employees. That includes offices, warehouses, retail shops, clinics, accounting firms, tradies, and agencies. If you have staff and technology, we can help.
Do you provide remote IT support?
Yes. For hardware, networking, or anything that needs hands-on attention, we send a Melbourne technician on-site the same day.
What is included in a managed IT plan?
A typical plan includes helpdesk support, system monitoring, patch management, cybersecurity (antivirus, firewall, MFA), cloud backups, Microsoft 365 administration, and on-site visits when needed. We customise every plan, so you only pay for what your business actually uses.
Can you help us migrate to the cloud?
Yes. We plan and execute cloud migrations to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure, and AWS. That includes email, file servers, line-of-business apps, and user training. We handle the heavy lifting so your team experiences minimal disruption during the move.

Managed IT Services in Melbourne
Most small Melbourne businesses do not need a full-time IT person — they need someone who already knows their setup to pick up the phone and deal with it. That is what our managed IT services do: we look after the network, the email, the backups and the security on an ongoing plan, so problems get caught early instead of becoming the reason nobody can work on a Monday morning.
Proactive monitoring
We watch the things that fail quietly — disks filling up, backups that stopped running, updates that never installed — and deal with them before they stop your day.
A named technician
The same people every visit, who know your setup. No call-centre queue, no explaining your network from scratch to a stranger each time.
Predictable monthly cost
A flat plan sized to your headcount instead of surprise invoices. You know what IT costs next month, and so does your bookkeeper.
Not ready for an ongoing plan? We also work ad-hoc — call 03 7057 2770 when something breaks and we will quote the job before we start.
Small Business IT Support Melbourne
IT support for small business is a different job from consumer tech help. Downtime costs real money, staff need to keep working, and someone has to own the boring parts — the backups, the licences, the security. We do all of that for Melbourne businesses that are too small to justify hiring an IT manager and too dependent on their systems to leave it to chance.
What small business IT support covers
- Office network, Wi-Fi and shared drives that hold up under load
- Microsoft 365, email, calendars and new-starter accounts
- Backups that have actually been tested by restoring from them
- Security basics done properly — MFA, passwords, permissions, patching
- Printers, point-of-sale and the devices everyone forgets until they fail
- Offboarding, so a departing staff member does not keep their access
Who we typically look after
Melbourne businesses of roughly two to thirty people, without an in-house IT department — professional services, clinics and allied health, retail and hospitality, trades and construction offices, studios and not-for-profits.
Most come to us after outgrowing "the one person in the office who is good with computers", or after an outage nobody could fix. We can work outside business hours so changes happen when your team is not trying to use the system.
What Melbourne customers say about business IT support

IT Consultant Melbourne — Projects and Second Opinions
Sometimes you do not need ongoing support, you need someone to plan a piece of work and see it through. We act as an IT consultant for Melbourne businesses on the jobs that are too important to improvise.
Moving or fitting out an office
Cabling, Wi-Fi coverage, internet connections and getting everything live before day one, rather than the week after.
Cloud and Microsoft 365 migrations
Getting off ageing servers and shared drives onto something maintainable, with the data intact and staff able to find their files.
A second opinion
An honest review of what you are paying for, what is actually protecting you, and what is redundant. Useful before you renew a contract.
We are an IT support and managed services business, not a repair workshop — we do not fit screens, keyboards, charging ports or hinges, and we do not do board-level repair. Hardware that needs that is diagnosed and referred to a specialist.

Managed IT Plans for Melbourne Businesses
One monthly price covering the whole technology footprint — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, your website and domain, email authentication, 24/7 security monitoring and a business-hours help desk. No setup fee and no lock-in contract.
What every plan covers
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Licensing, setup, mailboxes, file storage and the day-to-day administration of both.
Website hosting and maintenance
Hosting, updates and monitoring, kept patched alongside everything else we run.
Domain registration and DNS
Renewals handled and DNS managed, so nobody has to remember when the domain expires.
DMARC email authentication
Stops criminals sending invoices that appear to come from your domain.
Managed EDR, ITDR and a 24/7 SOC
Endpoint and identity detection through Huntress, with analysts watching around the clock rather than alerts piling up in a console.
Basic SEO
The on-page and local search work that keeps you findable, handled alongside the hosting.
Remote help desk for the whole team
A business-hours help desk and remote resolution for every user on the plan.
On-site visits are charged separately. Managed plans cover remote support. When a job needs someone in the room, a Melbourne technician attends at our standard rate of $205 per hour on-site, or $125 per hour remote for ad-hoc work outside a plan. Both hourly rates include GST.
