New Business Tech Setup
Starting something new? Get your domain, email, files, backups and security set up properly the first time, and actually own all of it.
Most new businesses in the Corridor set up their technology in a single afternoon. A personal Gmail account becomes the business email. The domain gets registered by whoever built the website. Files live on one laptop.
None of that hurts on day one. It hurts in year three, when you hire your third employee, when you try to move your email and discover you do not actually own your domain, when the laptop holding your client list dies, or when a buyer asks who controls your accounts. Undoing those decisions costs far more than making them correctly the first time.
What we set up
Your own domain
Registered in your name and the business’s, not your web designer’s.
Business email
On your own domain, via Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
Shared file storage
Not one person’s laptop. Permissions that survive your first hire.
Tested backups
Automatic from week one, and proven to actually restore.
Passwords and 2FA
In place before you have anything worth stealing.
Work kept separate
Your personal accounts and the business’s never get tangled.
The right hardware
The computers and tablets the work actually needs, usually fewer and cheaper than you planned.
Wi-Fi and network
Storefront, small office, or the corner of your house. Including point of sale.
Written down
Every domain, account, license and device, and exactly who controls each one.
What it is worth
Nearly every established business we help has the same three problems, and all three were created in the first month: nobody is certain who owns the domain, there is no working backup, and half the company's accounts are tied to one person's personal email. Fixing that later means migrations, downtime, and occasionally paying a stranger to release something you believed was yours.
Doing it properly at the start takes a fraction of that effort. You also end up with something most owners never have, which is a written record of what you own and how to get into it. That matters when you hire, when you apply for financing, and when you eventually sell.
That approach comes from fifteen years running technology for an Iowa school district, where there is no budget for mistakes and no team to absorb them.
How it works
This is scheduled project work rather than emergency response, so it fits around your launch timeline and around evenings and weekends. We agree the scope and the price before anything begins, there is no long-term contract, and there is no subscription attached to it. If you want ongoing help once you are running, that is a separate conversation you are free to skip.
