Website Speed Optimisation: A Practical Guide
1 Sep, 2025
Tailored IT support solutions for startups & scale-ups — from compliance and security to day-to-day support, all managed by UK-based experts.
Simple per-user-per-month pricing with no hidden fees, no surprise invoices and no long-term lock-in contracts.
Our clients typically save 30 to 50 per cent compared to maintaining equivalent in-house IT capabilities.
From monitoring and antivirus to help desk and strategic reviews — one monthly fee covers it all.
Loom and async-video for the distributed UK startup running every meeting as a recorded loop reduces synchronous-meeting load. Cloudswitched supports the SSO from M365 or Google Workspace, the workspace structure, the leaver-day deprovisioning, the data-residency posture for EU prospects and the supplier-security-questionnaire answer on customer-facing video content. Y Combinator, Techstars, Entrepreneur First (EF), Seedcamp, Founders Factory, Antler, Forward Partners and Episode 1 cohorts ship founders into the market with a few weeks of runway and a pitch deck. Cloudswitched picks up at the demo-day handover: incorporate via Companies House, choose M365 or Google Workspace, register with the ICO, set up Stripe and Mercury or Tide, install 1Password, harden GitHub, layer in Cyber Essentials and write the onboarding playbook for the first ten hires.
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
What you see is what you pay. We do not charge extra for phone calls, remote sessions, patch management or standard project work.
Other providers charge thousands for setup. We invest in onboarding at our own cost because we know the relationship will pay for itself.
No 12-month lock-ins. Our rolling contracts give you the flexibility to scale up, scale down or cancel with just 30 days\'s notice.
