IT consultancy for small businesses
Most small businesses build up their IT one decision at a time. A laptop here, a subscription there, a supplier who was recommended once. Over time it gets harder to tell what you are paying for, what is protected and what could work better. We start by understanding how your business actually runs, then recommend the technology that gets you the best outcome, in plain English.
Who it's for: owner-led businesses and small teams of about 1 to 25 people with no in-house IT. That includes businesses who already have an IT supplier and would like a second opinion.
How we can help
IT health check and strategy review
A clear look at what you have, what it costs and where it is holding you back, with a plan for what to do next.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace planning
Choosing, tidying up or moving between the tools your team uses for email, files and calendars.
Supplier and software review
Checking your subscriptions and contracts so you only pay for what you use and know what you are getting.
Simple automations and everyday AI tools
Including AI agents: digital assistants that take routine jobs off your plate, such as answering common enquiries, sorting emails, booking appointments and chasing invoices. We explain what they can and can't do before you commit to anything.
Security issues we find during a review are handed to our sister business, Ashtrot IT Services, which puts the protection in place.
How it works
- Free intro callUp to 15 minutes to talk through how your business runs and what's getting in the way.
- Fixed-scope reviewWe agree the scope up front, then give you a written plan you can act on.
- Optional ongoing adviceStay in touch for advice as things change, with no lock-in.
03 / Websites
Websites for local businesses
Plenty of independent businesses in and around Bromley have great reviews but no website. Barbers, landscapers, roofers and cleaners, for example. We build simple, clear one-page sites for them.
- Your address, opening hours and a map
- Your genuine customer reviews
- Easy ways to call, WhatsApp or request a quote
We build a preview first, so you can see the finished site before you decide anything.
