What Is a Managed Service Provider (MSP)? A Simple Guide for Business Owners
If you’ve heard the term MSP but aren’t sure exactly what it means, you’re not alone. Many business owners know they need “IT help,” but not what an MSP actually provides.
Here’s a simple explanation.
What Does an MSP Do?
A Managed Service Provider is a company that monitors, manages, secures, and supports your business technology—usually for a predictable monthly fee.
Think of it as having your own IT department…
but without hiring employees.
Common Services MSPs Provide
Most MSPs, including B3M Technologies, offer:
- 24/7 device monitoring
- Helpdesk & remote support
- Cybersecurity protection
- Cloud services & email setup
- Data backups & disaster recovery
- Network management
- Hardware/software maintenance
- Patch updates and system tuning
How an MSP Helps Your Business
- Reduces downtime
- Protects against cyber attacks
- Keeps systems fast and updated

- Helps you plan your technology budget
MSPs are ideal for companies with 1–200 employees who rely on computers and internet for day-to-day work.
