IT support for freelancers:
your questions answered
Q.Do freelancers and self-employed consultants need managed IT support?
If you work with corporate or public sector clients, the answer is increasingly yes. Enterprise clients and government frameworks are adding cyber security requirements to supplier agreements — Cyber Essentials certification, MFA, encrypted devices, and documented security policies. These are things a managed IT provider can set up and maintain for you efficiently. For solo consultants, even basic managed IT (Microsoft 365, device security, backup) can save significant time and protect billable work.
Q.How much does IT support cost for a freelancer or consultant?
Our Standard managed IT plan costs £25/month for a single user — covering unlimited helpdesk, device monitoring, patch management, and security. Microsoft 365 Business is procured and managed at Microsoft partner pricing. Most freelancers find managed IT costs less than the time they spend dealing with IT issues themselves.
Q.Can you help me get Cyber Essentials as a freelancer?
Yes. Cyber Essentials for a sole trader or small consultancy is relatively straightforward and typically costs £800–£1,200 all-in (IASME assessment fee plus our preparation support). Many enterprise procurement portals and government frameworks now mandate CE certification for all suppliers — without it, you cannot win certain contracts. We handle the full process and most freelancers achieve certification within 2–3 weeks.
Q.Can you set up a professional Microsoft 365 email on my domain?
Yes. Moving from a Gmail or BT/Sky email address to a professional email on your own domain (you@yourname.co.uk) takes us a few hours and dramatically improves your professional credibility. We set up Microsoft 365 Business — email, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint — and manage it on an ongoing basis so you never need to deal with Microsoft support.
Q.Do you support Macs for freelancers?
Yes. Many freelancers, especially those in creative, design, or technology fields, use MacBooks. We provide full Mac management alongside Windows — device security, updates, backup, and helpdesk for both platforms.
Q.What IT should a freelancer or contractor have as a genuine business expense?
HMRC allows IT equipment and services used wholly or mainly for your business to be claimed as business expenses. This includes: laptop/computer purchased for business use, Microsoft 365 subscription, managed IT support subscription, cyber security tools, and domain/hosting costs. Coreitech provides clear invoicing for all IT services that simplifies your expense claims.
