It's a common assumption that managed IT is only for bigger companies. In reality, small businesses are often the most exposed: no dedicated IT person, ad hoc security, and backups nobody has actually tested. A single ransomware attack or a failed hard drive can cost far more than a year of proper support. ### Going It Alone - • Whoever's "good with computers" fixes problems when they can - • Free antivirus and default settings - • Backups exist, but nobody's checked they actually work - • No one watching for threats until something breaks - • Unpredictable costs when things go wrong ### With StartCloud - • **One number to call**, answered by real people - • **Proper cybersecurity**, set up and monitored - • **Backups tested**, so they work when you need them - • **Proactive monitoring** that catches issues early - • **One fixed monthly cost**, no surprises What Our Clients Say ## Trusted by Australian Businesses "StartCloud has simplified the way we manage our subscriptions and services.
