Why Small Businesses Choose MicroSec® for Break-Fix Support

Choosing a break-fix provider isn’t just about fixing the issue once. It’s about trusting who’s on the other end of the remote session.

With MicroSec®, you get:

Remote-First, Nationwide Coverage

We specialize in remote break-fix IT support for small and micro businesses across the United States. As long as you have an internet connection, we can usually connect and help, no waiting for on-site visits.

No Contracts, No Surprises
Our break-fix service is truly pay-as-you-go:

  • No monthly commitments.

  • No “surprise” subscriptions.

  • Clear explanation of what we’ll do before we start.

You stay in control of your IT spending while still getting professional support.

Calm, Patient, Step-by-Step Help

Many of our clients aren’t “tech people,”and that’s okay. We explain everything in plain language, not jargon. You can see everything we’re doing in real time, and you can disconnect any time you want.

Fits Alongside Managed IT or DIY IT
Maybe you already have:

  • A basic in-house IT person.

  • A managed service provider.

  • Or you do most IT yourself.

Our break-fix support can still help with one-off, complex issues where you just need an extra set of expert hands.

When Break Fix Maintenance Makes Sense (and When It Doesn’t)

Break-fix is perfect when:

  • You rarely have IT problems, but want help fast when something does break.

  • You’re testing the waters with a new IT provider before committing to a monthly plan.

  • You’re a micro/small business with a limited budget.

Break-fix is not always ideal when:

  • You’re constantly fighting recurring issues.

  • You have strict compliance or security requirements.

  • You want proactive monitoring to catch problems before they happen.

In those cases, a managed IT services model will usually be better long-term but break-fix is still a great way to handle immediate fires.
