Onsite service

Small Business IT Support

Onsite IT for shops, studios, and offices too small for an IT department, backed by our parent company NodesUnlimited.

The problem this solves

A point-of-sale machine that froze during a rush, an office network nobody has documented, or five employees sharing one ancient printer. Small businesses need real IT help sized to a small business.

Who it is for: Boston-area shops, studios, practices, and small offices without in-house IT, typically one to twenty people.

What the technician actually does

  • Fixes workstations, printers, networks, and point-of-sale hardware onsite
  • Documents your setup so the next problem is faster to solve
  • Sets up business-grade backups and password practices
  • Coordinates with NodesUnlimited for needs beyond residential-scale work: servers, managed networks, and ongoing support contracts

What to expect

  • Scheduling that respects business hours, including before-open and after-close visits where possible
  • A clear handoff to NodesUnlimited when your needs outgrow break-fix visits

After you request a visit: We scope the visit on the confirmation call, and route you to NodesUnlimited directly when a managed contract fits better than hourly work.

Before the visit

  • List the systems that are business-critical
  • Know who holds the passwords to your router, hosting, and key accounts
