When it comes to keeping your business technology running smoothly, hiring a managed IT provider can be one of the smartest investments you make. But if you’re like many small business owners, one of your first questions is: “How much does managed IT actually cost?”
Let’s break down what you can expect — and why choosing the right provider matters just as much as the price.

Understanding Managed IT Pricing Models
Most managed IT services are offered on a monthly flat-rate basis. This means you pay a predictable amount every month for a package of services like network monitoring, server management, cybersecurity, help desk support, and regular maintenance.
Flat-rate pricing gives you peace of mind — you know your costs upfront and avoid unexpected bills.

Typical Cost Range for Small Businesses in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin (including La Crosse, Madison, Rochester, and surrounding areas), most small businesses pay somewhere between $100 to $250 per user per month for managed IT services.
Your actual cost depends on factors like:

• How many computers, servers, and devices you need covered
• Whether you need onsite support or just remote assistance
• What level of cybersecurity protection you require
• Whether you need specialized server or network administration

Why Cheapest Isn’t Always Best
While price matters, choosing the lowest-cost provider can sometimes lead to bigger problems later. Poor support, slow response times, and lack of proactive maintenance can cost your business in downtime, lost productivity, and even security breaches.
