Always Available
Our helpdesk is staffed by experienced UK engineers ready to assist your team when they need help.
Business IT support services for startups, with Companies House filings accounted for.
Microsoft 365 versus Google Workspace is the decision every UK startup founder makes — and frequently re-litigates around employee twenty when the new head of engineering wants Google and the head of people wants Microsoft. Cloudswitched supports the migration either way: tenant build, identity federation, conditional access, MDM, mailflow, calendar interop, shared drive migration, Slack and Notion integration, and the cost-comparison the CFO needs for the board pack. Pleo and Spendesk UK rollout ends the personal-credit-card-and-expense-claim era. Cloudswitched supports the SSO from HiBob, Lattice or Personio, the SCIM provisioning, the spend-policy configuration, the manager-approval workflow, the Xero or FreeAgent receipt-matching, the VAT-receipt capture for HMRC compliance, the leaver-day card-deactivation and the corporate-card reconciliation that lets the bookkeeper close the month in three days.
How it works for Startups businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Business First, Tech Second
We start every conversation by understanding your business goals, then design IT solutions that support them. Technology is a tool, not the objective.
2
Single Provider
Helpdesk, security, cloud, and infrastructure all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between vendors, no gaps in coverage.
3
Measurable Outcomes
Regular reporting shows exactly how your IT is performing, with uptime statistics, resolution times, and recommendations for improvement.
