As a sole trader, you wear every hat in your business — including IT. When something goes wrong, there's no IT department to call. That's where Limelight IT comes in. We provide fast, affordable remote IT support for sole traders across the UK — from setting up your first professional email to fixing whatever's broken right now.

IT support designed for sole traders

Sole traders have different IT needs from larger businesses. You probably don't need a managed IT contract or an enterprise solution — you need someone you can call when something goes wrong, and someone who can help you set things up properly from the start. That's what we do.

Professional email setup

Using your personal Gmail or Hotmail for business? A professional @yourtradingname.co.uk email via Microsoft 365 costs around £5/month and takes an hour to set up. It's one of the simplest things you can do to look more professional to clients.

The fix

Microsoft 365 email setup for sole traders — done remotely, typically same day.

Data backup

As a sole trader, all your client data, invoices, contracts and records are probably on one device. If that device fails, you lose everything. Cloud backup via OneDrive means your data is automatically protected.

The fix

OneDrive backup setup — automatic, ongoing, no effort required after initial setup.
