Many UK Start‑ups Are Migrating Overseas — SOD‑IT Helps You Stay and Scale
The UK has long been a launchpad for innovation and start‑up growth. But recent reports show that 1 in 5 UK start‑ups are considering relocating abroad by 2028. The reasons? Tight margins, rising operational costs, limited IT infrastructure, and the pressure to scale fast.
At SOD‑IT, we’re here to ensure start‑ups stay and thrive — wherever they’re based — with smarter tech, secure systems and scalable support.
The Hidden Cost of Outdated Technology
When your tech can’t keep up, your business can’t either. Slow hardware, fragmented software, and poorly integrated systems create friction at a stage when momentum matters. That’s why:
Hardware upgrades are more than an expense — they’re an investment in your future readiness.
Better software and AI tools reduce repetitive work, enable new services, and free your team to focus on growth.
Without a clear IT plan, start‑ups risk falling behind faster‑moving competitors or seeking greener pastures.
Why AI Training and Enablement Matter
AI isn’t just for big companies. Even lean teams can harness tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot or domain‑specific automation to unlock time, insights and innovation. But tools alone don’t cut it — your people need to know how to use them. Our training programmes help your team adopt AI confidently, build workflows that scale, and embed a culture of tech‑driven growth.
Hardware, Cloud and Funding: The Trifecta for Growth
Modern hardware and cloud infrastructure go hand‑in‑hand. At SOD‑IT we help you map the route from old tech to agile environments:
Deploying modern devices and cloud platforms to keep up with investor and customer expectations.
Partnering with vendor programmes and helping you explore funding options so upgrades don’t stall your budget.
Rolling out cloud‑first services that support hybrid teams, faster time‑to‑market and robust compliance.
