Managed IT Services vs. Break-Fix: Which Saves You More Money?

When it comes to tech support, small businesses often face a big choice:

  • Break-Fix: Call for help only when things break.

  • Managed IT Services: Pay a fixed monthly fee for ongoing support and proactive maintenance.

So which one actually saves you money in the long run?

The True Cost of “Break-Fix”

Paying for IT only when something breaks sounds cheap—until it isn’t.

Imagine:

  • A computer crashes in the middle of your busiest day

  • Your network goes offline, stopping sales

  • A virus locks you out of your files

Emergency fixes are expensive. And every minute your systems are down costs money and frustrates customers.

How Managed IT Saves Money

Managed IT Services work like a health plan for your technology. Instead of waiting for something to break, your systems are monitored, maintained, and protected.

Benefits include:

✅ Faster response times
✅ Regular maintenance to prevent issues
✅ Lower risk of downtime
✅ Predictable costs each month

Over time, many businesses find managed services cost less than repeated emergency repairs.
