IT Support in Birmingham — Managed IT for Small Businesses

Birmingham runs on small professional firms, creative studios and trades — most with five to fifty staff and no in-house IT. Elford Tech Solutions gives Birmingham businesses a proper IT department for a fixed monthly fee — helpdesk, Microsoft 365, security and backups, all in one place.

We cover Birmingham with onsite visits as standard — we're about 45 minutes from our Elford workshop. We also look after Erdington, Edgbaston, Digbeth, Aston and the wider B1 postcode area.

Managed IT support for Birmingham businesses

Most small firms in Birmingham don't need a full-time IT manager. They need someone who answers the phone, keeps everything patched and secure in the background, and gives a straight answer on what to buy next. That's exactly what our managed plans do.

We work with teams around Colmore Row, Digbeth, Jewellery Quarter and across the B1, B2, B3, B4 postcodes — accountants, clinics, agencies, trades, charities and manufacturers.

What's included

Remote helpdesk — phone, email and secure remote sessions, usually resolved same day.
Onsite support in Birmingham — for anything that needs hands on hardware.
Microsoft 365 — licensing, migrations, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.
Email & domains — shared mailboxes, anti-spam, SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
Cyber security — MFA, conditional access, endpoint protection and phishing awareness.
Backup & recovery — Microsoft 365 backup and business data backup with 12-month retention.
Onboarding & offboarding — pre-built laptops, accounts and secure leaver processes.
Procurement — hardware sourced and configured before it lands on the desk.

Plans and pricing

Essentials is £39 per user per month: unlimited remote support, Microsoft 365 administration, monitoring and patching. Managed Care is £69 per user per month and adds a 4-hour response target on urgent tickets, Microsoft 365 backup and quarterly IT reviews. Everything is month-to-month — no three-year tie-ins.

Prefer pay-as-you-go? We also do fixed-price project work — 365 migrations, new office setups, server-to-cloud moves and security reviews — for Birmingham businesses that aren't ready for a monthly plan.

Also covering the Birmingham area

As well as Birmingham itself we support Erdington, Edgbaston, Digbeth, Aston, Selly Oak, Kings Heath, Northfield, and we're happy to work alongside your existing web or telecoms provider.

Hardware faults come back to our Staffordshire workshop for board-level repair, so you're not paying for a replacement laptop every time something breaks.
