At what size does a business need managed IT services?+
Simply IT works with businesses as small as 3 employees. The right time to engage a managed IT provider is when technology problems are regularly disrupting your team's productivity, when you have data that would be catastrophic to lose, or when you are subject to any compliance requirements. Most businesses find that managed IT pays for itself in prevented downtime and avoided security incidents well before they reach 10 employees.

Simply IT prices managed IT per user per month with three transparent tiers — Simply Managed at $75, Simply Secure at $125, and Simply Compliant at $150 — with no long-term contracts. Most small businesses with 3 to 5 employees invest between $225 and $750 per month for managed IT.

How do I find a good IT support company near me?+
When you search for an IT support company near you, look past the search ranking and check four things. Are they genuinely local with technicians who can come on-site, or a national call center? Do they offer flat monthly pricing instead of unpredictable hourly bills? Do they specialize in businesses your size? And do they document the work they do? Simply IT is a veteran-owned IT support company headquartered in Ocala, FL, serving small businesses across North Central Florida with local technicians, flat monthly pricing, and monthly written reports — never a national call center.
What IT solutions does a small business actually need?+
Most small businesses need five core IT solutions: managed IT support with proactive monitoring and a helpdesk; layered cybersecurity including endpoint protection, email security, MFA, and backup; a properly configured Microsoft 365 environment for email and collaboration; reliable cloud backup with tested recovery; and a modern business phone system. Simply IT delivers all five as a single managed IT solution for small businesses at a flat monthly rate — so you have one local partner instead of juggling multiple vendors.
