Is “I Need A Techie” Right for Your Business? The Ultimate No-Jargon Guide for Non-Tech Owners

IT help for small business owners doesn’t have to mean confusion, overwhelm, or sky-high bills. If you run a small business but shudder at terms like “firewall,” “DNS,” or “cloud migration,” you’re not alone—and you *deserve* tech support that respects your time, intelligence, and bottom line.

That’s where I Need A Techie comes in: a service built *specifically* for non-technical business owners who need reliable, affordable, and plain-English tech guidance.

Why Non-Tech Business Owners Struggle with IT (And Why That’s Okay)

Most small business owners are experts in their field—baking, contracting, consulting, retail—but not in cybersecurity or network infrastructure. Yet today’s operations *depend* on functioning Wi-Fi, secure data, and dependable software.

Common pain points include:

• Not knowing who to call when the email goes down
• Fear of overpaying for unnecessary “enterprise-level” services
• Wasting hours troubleshooting instead of focusing on customers
• Worrying about ransomware, data leaks, or compliance issues

According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, small businesses are targeted in 43% of cyberattacks—and over half of those attacked go out of business within six months. That’s not fear-mongering; it’s a call to action.

How to Know If You’re Ready for a Local IT Consultant

Ask yourself:

• Have you Googled “why is my printer offline?” more than once this month?
• Do you reuse passwords or store them in a spreadsheet?
• Is your backup strategy “hope nothing breaks”?

If yes to any—especially all three—you’re not behind. You’re human. And that’s precisely who “I Need A Techie” serves.
