You’re a small business owner calling your IT provider—only to sit on hold. Support tickets go unanswered for days. And when you finally connect, you feel like just another number to them.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many small businesses experience the frustration of being deprioritized by vendors who claim to be “SMB-friendly” but really focus their energy on larger clients.
When ‘One Size Fits All’ Doesn’t Fit at All
Large IT providers often center their attention on enterprise clients, leaving smaller businesses with slower response times and limited access to support. Their “solutions” are designed for scale, not for the realities of a lean team—leading to wasted resources and tools that don’t fit your workflow.
And when it comes to cybersecurity, the gap widens. Many small businesses assume their provider is “handling it,” only to learn that key updates or protections were never implemented.
The truth is, your size doesn’t make you less of a target—it can make you more vulnerable.
Often, these providers:
- Offer overly complex platforms that are costly and underused
- Require technical expertise small teams don’t have
- Provide little flexibility or customization in service tiers
“SMB-friendly” can mean anything from a one-person consultancy to a 200-employee firm. If you’re on the smaller end of that range, you might be paying for features you don’t need—or worse, not getting the responsiveness you do.
Poor Customer Support Hits Small Businesses Harder
For a small business, every hour of downtime is a setback. Limited staff means one IT issue can disrupt an entire operation. Yet many vendors still leave small clients waiting in support queues, with:
- Long response and resolution times
- Inconsistent follow-up from service teams
- Limited or no access to live phone or chat support
It’s no surprise that 48% of SMBs report performance issues with their devices as the top reason they’d switch providers (Axcient).
When your business depends on technology, delays are costly. You deserve an IT partner who understands that urgency isn’t determined by company size.
Beyond Support Tickets: Building Real Partnerships
Technology isn’t just a set of tools—it’s part of your business strategy. That’s why small businesses need more than a help desk. They need a partner who:
- Knows their business and workflows
- Offers proactive guidance and system optimization
- Acts as an extension of their internal team
Unfortunately, many providers don’t invest in relationship-building with smaller clients. Without a dedicated account manager or regular check-ins, small businesses often miss opportunities to improve efficiency and get ahead of issues.
At Just Solutions, we believe your IT provider should know your business as well as your staff does.
Enterprise-Level Care for Every Client
We like to say, “We’re not here to serve the fortunate 1,000—we’re here to support the unfortunate 1 million.”
Many small and midsized businesses are still learning how to fully leverage technology. Our mission is to help them map out workflows, strengthen security, and design systems that truly support growth.
That’s why every Just Solutions client—whether a solo consultant or a multi-location organization—receives:
- Proactive monitoring and maintenance to prevent downtime before it happens
- A virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) who knows your business and aligns your IT with your goals
- A responsive support team that treats every ticket with the urgency it deserves

Small Businesses Need Cybersecurity Too
Technology strategy isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about protection. As small businesses adopt more digital tools, cybersecurity has become just as essential as reliable support.
61% of SMBs worry that a serious cybersecurity attack could be enough to put them out of business (Connectwise).
Unfortunately, many IT providers still treat security as a premium feature rather than a foundational part of service. This leaves small organizations vulnerable to threats and unaware of emerging risks.
To make matters worse, 73% of SMBs aren’t confident that their MSP could fully protect them in the event of a cyber-attack.
At Just Solutions, we believe cybersecurity should be woven into every solution we deliver. This focus is especially vital for industries with strict regulatory requirements like finance, law, and manufacturing.
Client Spotlight: Real Support, Real Results
At Just Solutions, responsiveness isn’t a privilege reserved for enterprise clients—it’s a promise to every customer we serve.
Jim, a consulting professional, shared his experience:
I am a sole practitioner in a consulting business who needs tech support and troubleshooting to support my business. In the past I have had support services from other vendors who don't seem to understand that, even though my business is small, when I need tech support, it carries the same sense of urgency that they might have with their larger customers. I have been a JSI customer for the past six months and found them to be extremely responsive to my needs and professional and efficient in bailing me out when I have IT issues. Special shout-out to Paula Bruno.
Jim’s story is just one example of how our team goes beyond troubleshooting to build lasting relationships grounded in trust, care, and accountability.
Many IT providers promise “fast support,” but few deliver with the empathy and consistency that small businesses truly need.
Paula and our team didn’t just resolve his technical issues; they treated his business with the same level of attention we give our largest clients. It’s that mindset—seeing every client as mission-critical—that defines our service philosophy.
