In a world ever-more reliant on technology, IT consultancies play an increasingly important role in our economy, ensuring the smooth running of all types of businesses, from global manufacturing companies to small local retailers. In 2016, the IT support sector employed over 670,000 people in the UK, and is one of the key growth areas of our economy, with an industry-wide average growth rate of 3.76% in 2017. However, running IT support company isn't as binary as it seems.
Like most other brick-and-mortar businesses, an IT consultancy will have regular running costs, such as renting business premises, utilities and paying staff. In addition to this, however, IT support businesses also have to deal with the cost of software licences, renewals, and paying for the latest equipment. For large IT consultancies, with a significant and well-established client base, these are just regular overheads. But for small businesses, often with a team of just one or two, these costs can turn running an IT support company into a tricky balancing act of managing costs, helping existing clients and growing the business.
