Break-Fix vs. Managed IT: What Charlotte SMBs Need to Know

For years, many small businesses in Charlotte relied on “break-fix” IT support — waiting until something breaks, then paying for a fix. While this reactive model may seem cheaper upfront, it often leads to bigger problems, more downtime, and unpredictable costs.

Break-Fix IT: The Reactive Model

Break-fix support works like calling a mechanic after your car breaks down. You only pay when something goes wrong — but by then, the damage is done. Small issues often turn into major outages, data loss, or costly repairs.
