Illustrative scenarios only — not completed customer projects or proof of results.
Built to show how London PC Fix may support small businesses without internal IT teams.
What do these case studies show?
This page shows examples of the kinds of IT problems London businesses commonly face, the support work involved, and the practical outcomes businesses need when they do not have an internal IT team.
The focus is on business IT support, managed support, Microsoft 365 issues, Wi-Fi and network problems, office setup needs, troubleshooting, and on-site support across London.
These are illustrative scenarios, not completed customer projects. They are intended to help business owners and teams understand what practical IT support could look like in a similar working situation.
Why case studies matter
Businesses often want to understand not just what an IT provider says they do, but how that support applies in real situations.
Shows how support works in practice
Examples explain the kind of support involved and what the work actually looks like.
Makes common IT problems easier to recognise
Businesses often see their own situation in examples before they make contact.
Helps compare support needs more clearly
Structured examples help businesses decide whether ad-hoc or managed support fits better.
Sets expectations before making contact
A clearly labelled example helps businesses understand what to discuss and what support may involve.
For small businesses without internal IT, practical examples help make support options easier to understand.
Featured support scenarios
The examples below show the kind of IT support situations London businesses commonly face, the work that may be involved, and the result a suitable service could aim for. They are not records of completed customer work.
Small professional services firm — 8 users, Central London office
The business was experiencing repeated Microsoft 365 login and access issues, including users locked out of accounts, email access problems, and inconsistent Teams meetings. There was no clear IT point of contact and no managed support in place.
- Reviewed the Microsoft 365 tenancy and identified misconfigured user policies
- Resolved login and access issues across all affected user accounts
- Cleared conditional access conflicts causing Teams and email disruptions
- Set up a simple IT support process so issues could be raised and resolved quickly going forward
This example demonstrates how a suitable support plan could reduce recurring Microsoft 365 disruption and give the business a clear route for raising IT issues.
Creative agency — 10 users, Shoreditch shared office building
The team was experiencing unreliable Wi-Fi that dropped throughout the day, particularly during video calls. The issue was intermittent and had been worked around for months without a proper fix.
- Visited the office to assess the Wi-Fi setup and signal coverage in person
- Identified interference from neighbouring networks and a poorly positioned access point
- Reconfigured the network and repositioned equipment to improve coverage and stability
- Tested connection stability during calls to confirm the issue was resolved
This example demonstrates how an on-site network review could improve coverage and give a team a more dependable connection for client calls.
Consultancy firm — 6 users, new Victoria office
The business had moved into a new office and needed to get IT set up properly from scratch — including cabling, Wi-Fi, Microsoft 365 for the team, and device setup for new staff joining at the same time.
- Assessed the office layout and planned the network and Wi-Fi setup
- Installed and configured the Wi-Fi network and cabling
- Set up Microsoft 365 user accounts, devices, and shared storage
- Configured printers and meeting room equipment
- Handed over with a clear setup summary for future reference
This example demonstrates how planned office setup could give a team working devices, accounts, and connectivity from its first day in a new space.
Small business — 5 users, South London office
The business had been handling IT issues informally, calling different contacts for different problems. Issues were taking too long to resolve and there was no consistent support. The owner wanted a single point of contact for all IT.
- Assessed the existing setup, devices, and Microsoft 365 environment
- Moved the business onto a managed IT support plan
- Took over ongoing Microsoft 365 administration, device support, and day-to-day troubleshooting
- Set up backup and basic security hardening for all devices
This example demonstrates how managed support could replace ad-hoc fixes with one contact for day-to-day IT, reducing the owner’s direct involvement in routine issues.
Local office-based business — 4 users, South West London
The business had no reliable backup in place. Staff were saving files locally on individual laptops and there was no centralised storage or backup process. A device fault made the risk clear.
- Reviewed current data storage and identified files at risk
- Set up cloud backup for all user devices, including automated daily backup
- Migrated critical files to a shared, accessible location
- Provided a clear summary of what was backed up and how to verify it
This example demonstrates how a backup and shared-storage plan could reduce reliance on individual laptops and make important business data easier to recover.
Coworking-based startup — 4 users, Farringdon
A small startup team working from a coworking space needed help with Microsoft 365 setup, device onboarding for two new hires, and a persistent connectivity issue affecting one workstation.
- Set up Microsoft 365 accounts and devices for new team members
- Diagnosed and resolved the connectivity issue at the specific workstation
- Configured email, Teams, and shared storage for the full team
- Provided remote support access so future issues could be resolved without a visit where possible
This example demonstrates how structured onboarding and remote support could help new team members start work quickly while giving the team a more consistent Microsoft 365 setup.
