Startups need to project professionalism from their first client call, but enterprise phone systems are overkill in both cost and complexity. You need something that sounds professional, works on mobile, and scales as you hire.
Cloudswitched provides startup-friendly VoIP that gives your company a professional phone presence from day one. Our systems start small, cost little, and scale seamlessly as your team grows from founders to a full organisation.

They need Cyber Essentials certification to win enterprise contracts or government tenders

Why Cloudswitched for VoIP?
IT company first, telecoms provider second. That's why your phone system actually integrates with everything else.
IT company, not a telecoms reseller
We configure QoS, firewalls, VLANs and network settings properly — not just plug in phones and hope for the best. Your voice quality is our responsibility.
One point of contact
Phone system, internet connection and IT support — all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between providers when something goes wrong.
CRM integration done right
We don't just tick a box — we properly integrate your phone system with your CRM so screen pops, call logging and click-to-dial actually work reliably.
Right system, not the most expensive
If Microsoft Teams Voice is all you need, we won't upsell you a full hosted PBX. We recommend based on what fits your business, not our margin.
Network-first approach
We assess your broadband, configure QoS and test call quality before go-live. If your connection isn't good enough for VoIP, we'll fix that first — we do connectivity too.
Fraud protection included
VoIP fraud is real — hackers can run up thousands in international call charges overnight. Our systems include fraud detection and call barring to protect your business.
Seamless number porting
We manage the entire porting process — coordinating with carriers, scheduling the switchover and ensuring zero downtime. Your customers won't notice a thing.
Hybrid & remote ready
Softphone apps on every device mean your team can make and receive calls from their business number whether they're in the office, at home or on the road.
Scales instantly
Adding a new user takes minutes, not weeks. No engineer visits, no hardware orders, no waiting. Your phone system grows as fast as your business does.

Can you scale IT support as our startup grows?
That is exactly what we specialise in. Our flexible support plans grow with you, from a handful of founders to a full team. We add users, devices, and services on demand without long-term lock-in contracts, so you only pay for what you need at each stage of growth.
How do you help startups prepare for due diligence?
We implement the security controls, access management, and documentation that investors and acquirers look for. This includes Cyber Essentials certification, GDPR compliance evidence, access audit logs, and a clear technology asset register that demonstrates mature IT governance.
Do you support cloud-native and DevOps environments?
Yes, we work alongside your engineering team rather than replacing them. We manage corporate IT, end-user devices, identity management, and office infrastructure while your developers focus on product. We also support CI/CD tooling, cloud platforms, and developer workstations.
