We believe Business IT Consultancy isn’t just for large enterprises. Small businesses need our expertise to build secure, effective and intelligent IT systems to support day-to-day operations and in order to grow into the large enterprises of the future. That’s why we developed The Cosurica Way.
The Cosurica Way gives you access to the experienced, professional IT services you’d expect only large enterprises could afford, including Business IT Consultancy.
Top quality Business IT Consultancy for all
Over 25 years ago we started out working with large global corporations and public sector organisations (1000+ seats). Since 2015, our focus has been on bringing our superior consultancy skills and insights to SMEs and start-ups, from 1 seat to 100s. We provide IT strategy planning, intelligent solution design and project management. If you’ve got growth potential and are ready to embrace technology to help you achieve your goals, we’ve got your back!
Business IT Consultancy services provided The Cosurica Way are highly beneficial to smaller businesses like yours. You may have limited or no in-house IT expertise, so you need expert help to keep pace with the rapid advances in technology and cybercrime.
According to the UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025, “Businesses and charities frequently mentioned that only one or two board members appeared to possess any technical knowledge of cyber security, and in some cases the board member with responsibility for cyber security had little understanding of it. This is an important knowledge gap because board members may be making decisions, such as on budgets, without realising the full extent of their impacts.”
That’s why our consultancy and support brings real, tangible benefits!
During the Discovery phase of our tried and tested Cosurica Way process we’ll spend time getting to know your organisation as a whole, not just the systems you use and want us to support. Our Business IT Consultancy services focus on your people first and foremost; what they do and how they do the tasks necessary to run your business.
Business IT Consultancy services delivered The Cosurica Way ensure any systems & solutions we might recommend to you will bring measurable benefits to your business, support your plans, be embraced by your end-users and used fully, so you get the best return on your investment.
We’re not commission-driven salespeople; we’re professional IT consultants. It’s of no benefit to us to recommend products and services that you really don’t need. Our reputation is built upon, and reliant upon, us meeting and exceeding your expectations.

Thinking about improving your IT, but not sure where to start? You’re not alone! That’s why Cosurica exists! Get in touch with us today!
Data Security is on everyone’s mind these days. If you are a small business currently looking after your own IT, the UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025 makes very interesting reading. Dig right down into the stats!
“…medium (67%) and large (74%) businesses were more likely to have experienced a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months compared to micro businesses (41%) and small businesses (50%)…These findings may indicate poorer identification and reporting practices in smaller organisations as they may have less sophisticated cyber security monitoring in place”.
So the key takeaway here is that small businesses may be less likely to recognise and report they have been breached or attacked. They may simply be unaware it has happened. Businesses risk reputational damage as result of an unreported data breach. Let us guide you into a much stronger as safer position!
If you’re not sure whether or not a provider like Cosurica can really help you stay safe, here’s an easy to read SME’s guide to choosing and working with a managed service provider on the National Cyber Security Centre’s website.
FAQs
Here are some of the questions we hear most often from small and growing businesses:
Q. What technology do we actually need—and what can we avoid?
A. Identifying the most suitable technology to support your business depends on what your business does and what its short, medium and long term goals are.
Talking to an IT Consultant who specialises in working with small businesses will help you work out what’s best for your business.
The Discovery phase of The Cosurica Way is designed to enable you to find out what tech you really need and what you can safely avoid (or defer until later in your business growth journey).
Q. Are we using the right systems for our size and industry?
A. In our experience we’ve found that no two businesses are completely alike, even if they’re of a similar size and both operate in the same industry.
Talking to an IT Consultant who specialises in working with small businesses will help you work out what’s best for your business.
We’ll carry out a review of your current systems and the needs of your end-users. We’ll let you know if your systems meet the current and future needs of your business, and your end-users, and what to do about it if they don’t!
Q. Can you help us create an IT roadmap and/or IT budget?
A. Yes we can! During the Discovery phase of The Cosurica Way one of our brilliant consultants will meet with you. They’ll assess your systems at that point in time, perhaps talk to some of your end-users and discuss your business growth plans. Then we can work with you to build your IT Roadmap or IT budget to support your growth plans.
Q. Are our systems secure?
A. As part of the Discovery phase of the Cosurica Way you can ask us to carry out a comprehensive review of your current systems including:- your current backup strategy; network and end-point security including firewalls & anti-virus; your authentication processes; data access permissions and more.
Then we can let you know where any weaknesses might lie and make recommendations to bring your IT security up to scratch.
Once we’ve had the opportunity to review your systems, we’ll be able to answer questions such as:-
“How vulnerable are we to cyberattacks?;
“What should we do to protect customer data and comply with regulations?”;
“Do we need antivirus, backups, MFA, a firewall… or all of it?” and “How quickly could we recover from a ransomware attack?”.
We can can also help you achieve cybersecurity certifications for your business, such as Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, to give you, your customers and your suppliers added reassurance of your commitment to data security.
Q. Should we move to the cloud, and what would it cost?
A. The answer very much depends on what IT systems (and possibly manual systems too!) your business relies on currently, what your short, medium and long-term plans are, any budgetary constraints and a whole host of other factors.
The Discovery phase of The Cosurica Way will help you to understand if the moving to the cloud is right for your business.
Q. Is Microsoft 365 enough for our needs?
A. The answer very much depends on which features and functionality you are using currently, what your short, medium and long-term plans are, any budgetary constraints and a whole host of other factors.
Microsoft 365 is suitable for businesses of pretty much any size, but some businesses use it in a hybrid environment in order to fully meet their needs.
The Discovery phase of The Cosurica Way will help you to understand if Microsoft 365 can meet and continue to meet your business needs.
Later phases of our tried and tested Cosurica Way process will address and provide solutions to questions such as “How do we manage users, devices, and permissions properly?”; “Can we work remotely, but still stay secure?”
Q. Why is our network slow or unreliable?
A. There are many factors which can make your network appear slow or unreliable. It might be due to a problem with your end-users’ devices, problems with your internal network infrastructure, interference affecting your wi-fi coverage or your internet connection itself. It may be something simple and easily fixed!
If it’s more complex, our networking specialists do love a challenge and will get to the bottom of it for you! We can also answer questions such as “Do we still need an on-premise server, or can we retire it?” and “What’s the right Wi-Fi setup for our office/shop/warehouse?”.
If a slow or unreliable network is a pain point for your business get in touch with us.
You can also find out more about our Internet Connectivity services here if you’re having doubts about your current service or are simply looking to upgrade to faster, more reliable connection.

We offer a range of on-going support options to suit your budget. There’s more information about IT Support the Cosurica Way here
Q. What do we need to do to stay compliant with GDPR?
A. That very much depends on what kind of business you’re in and what types of data you are gathering, storing and processing, but it is certainly a question our experienced consultants can provide guidance on to help you.
We work with customers with a wide range of compliance requirements. Legal, retail, financial, scientific and healthcare are just some of the sectors we have experience in advising and supporting.
