The IT challenges small business face

Most Houston small businesses hit the same wall: technology becomes critical before an IT budget exists. Email, files, invoicing, and the phone system all run on computers nobody maintains, security is whatever came installed, and when something breaks, work stops while someone Googles the error message.

Managed IT services for small businesses in Houston

Braintek gives small businesses a complete IT department for a flat monthly rate. Your team calls our Houston based helpdesk and reaches a real technician, usually in under a minute. We monitor and maintain your computers, network, and servers so most problems are fixed before you notice them. Security comes standard: MFA, endpoint protection, email filtering, patching, and backups that we actually test.

You also get the strategic side a small business never has: a technology roadmap, hardware lifecycle planning, and someone who deals with your internet, phone, and software vendors so you never play middleman.

IT support sized for 10 to 200 employees

We built our service and our pricing for small and mid-sized businesses. Per device and per mailbox pricing means a 15 person office pays a 15 person price, and the number on the invoice is the same every month. As you hire, IT scales with you, and if you already have one IT person, our co-managed IT covers the gaps instead of replacing them.

Since 2002 we’ve supported Houston small businesses in manufacturing, construction, professional services, law, and accounting — from The Woodlands and Spring to the Energy Corridor and everywhere in between. When you’re ready to stop being your own IT department, we’ll show you exactly what it looks like for your office.

Frequently asked questions

What does small business IT support cost in Houston?

Braintek prices per device and per mailbox, so a 10 person office pays for exactly what it has. For most Houston small businesses, full managed IT costs a fraction of one IT salary and replaces the surprise repair bills with one predictable monthly number.

We only have 12 employees. Are we too small for managed IT services?

No. We support Houston businesses from 10 to 200 employees, and smaller offices often benefit the most because one down server or one phishing click hurts a 12 person company far more than a 500 person one.

Why do small businesses need cybersecurity? Aren't hackers after big companies?

Attackers target small businesses precisely because they expect weaker defenses. Most of the incidents we respond to start with a phishing email or a stolen password at a company under 50 employees. Our small business IT services include MFA, endpoint protection, email filtering, and tested backups as standard, not as add-ons.

What is included in your managed IT services for small businesses?

Unlimited helpdesk for your whole team, monitoring and maintenance of your computers, servers, and network, built-in cybersecurity, tested backups, vendor management, and quarterly technology planning. One flat monthly rate covers all of it.

Do you only serve Houston?

We serve small businesses across the Houston metro from our office in The Woodlands, and Dallas–Fort Worth from our Fort Worth office. On-site visits and remote support are included in both markets.

How is Braintek different from other Houston IT support companies?

We answer the phone — recent average wait is under a minute — and the technician who answers owns your issue to resolution. We've been doing this for Houston small businesses since 2002, and our 4.9 star rating across 350+ Google reviews reflects that.
