A senior technology partner, without the full-time hire

Technology moves too fast for a busy owner to keep up with, and hiring a CTO doesn't make sense for a small business. As your technology partner, we look after your website and systems, keep an eye on new tools and AI, and give you honest advice when you need it. You get a senior expert on your side for a predictable monthly fee.

Questions

Technology partner: your questions answered

What is a fractional CTO?

A fractional CTO is a senior technology leader who works with your business part-time. You get the strategic advice and hands-on expertise of a CTO for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, which suits small and growing businesses.

How much does a technology partner cost?

A Care plan starts from £59/month, a Partner plan with a monthly call and improvements from £295/month, and fractional CTO support from £1,495/month. A typical UK fractional CTO costs £3,000–£7,000 a month.

Can I start with a project and add a partnership later?

Yes. Most partners start with a website or automation project, then move to a monthly plan once it's live.

What happens if something breaks?

Partners get priority support. We monitor your site and systems and get on it quickly, often before you've noticed anything is wrong.
