Affordable IT support · Baton Rouge
What affordable IT support actually costs in Baton Rouge.
Straight numbers, before you have to sit through a sales call. Managed IT from Bayou Tech Solutions runs $35 to $110 per user per month, small offices start at $149 a month flat, and the plans are on this site for anyone to read.
The short answer
Between $35 and $110 per person, per month.
For a Baton Rouge office of ten people, that is $650 a month on All-In-One for monitoring, patching, antivirus, backup, a help desk with a pooled support allowance, and Microsoft 365 security set up properly. An office that cannot afford downtime pays $1100 for Complete, which makes remote support unlimited and adds a quarterly review and an onsite visit every quarter. Under eight people, Essentials is $149 flat.
Microsoft 365 licenses are billed separately at Microsoft's own price, $22 per user for Business Premium, because marking up a license nobody can shop around is not how we make money.
What "affordable" means here
Cheap IT and affordable IT are different things.
A number you can plan around
One flat monthly figure for the office. No per-ticket charges, no surprise invoice after a bad week. Hourly work is for people who are not on a plan.
The stack is the same for everyone
NinjaOne, Bitdefender and Microsoft 365 Business Premium on every client, configured the same way. Standardizing is what keeps the price where it is.

Questions people ask first
Before you call.
How much does IT support cost for a small business in Baton Rouge?
With Bayou Tech Solutions, managed IT runs $35 to $110 per user per month depending on the plan, with monthly minimums of $600 (All-In-One) and $750 (Complete). Offices under 8 people usually fit Essentials at $149 a month flat. Onsite hourly work is $100 an hour with a one-hour minimum.
What is included in an affordable managed IT plan?
Round-the-clock monitoring, patching, managed antivirus, a help desk, workstation backup on All-In-One and Complete, Microsoft 365 security configured properly, and a local crew for anything remote tools cannot reach. Microsoft 365 licenses are billed separately at Microsoft's price.
Is a managed plan cheaper than paying hourly?
Usually, once an office has more than a handful of computers. Two hourly visits a month at $100 an hour already exceeds a ten-person All-In-One plan, and the plan includes the monitoring and backup that stop most of those visits from being needed.
Why is there a monthly minimum?
Because a four-person office takes the same onboarding, documentation and attention as a twenty-person one. The minimum is what lets us do the job properly for small offices instead of rushing it. Under eight people, Essentials is the better fit and has no minimum beyond its flat rate.
Do you work with title companies and law firms?
Yes. Both are a focus: wire fraud prevention and underwriter documentation for title offices, confidentiality and retention for law firms. Each has its own page on this site.
Where do you provide service?
Baton Rouge, Ascension and Livingston parishes onsite, with remote support anywhere in South Louisiana.
