Small Business IT Checklist: The Basics You Should Have

Small businesses do not need enterprise complexity, but they do need reliable accounts, backups, MFA, documented access and a repeatable way to set up and remove employees.

Use business-owned accounts

Critical services should belong to the company rather than an employee’s personal email address.

Turn on MFA

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, banking and administrative accounts should use multi-factor authentication.

Back up important data

Cloud sync is useful, but businesses should know what is backed up, where it is stored and how recovery works.

Document onboarding and offboarding

New employees should get the right access quickly, and departing employees should lose access promptly.

Keep an equipment list

Know which computers, phones, network devices and licenses belong to the business.

Test recovery before an emergency

A backup that has never been restored is only an assumption.
