If a past IT provider left you chasing tickets or guessing what you were paying for, you’re not alone. SupportMax is a managed IT and cybersecurity company based in West Los Angeles. Working with us means a named point of contact, a documented environment, a phased switch, and regular reviews with you about issues, risks, and priorities. One team owns the result. Talk to a real expert about what isn’t working today.
What we hear
What businesses tell us about their last IT provider
If any of these sound familiar, you know why trust matters.
01
Nobody owned the problem
Tickets bounced between vendors and the same issue kept coming back.
02
We never knew what we had
No documentation, no passwords handed over, no clear picture of the setup.
03
They talked in jargon
Explanations that left the owner more confused than before.
04
Security was an afterthought
No MFA, untested backups, and no plan for what happens after an attack.
How we earn trust
What happens when you switch to SupportMax
Planned steps, clear communication.
Talk to a Real Expert
1. Discover and document
We inventory your devices, accounts, software, and vendors, and write down how everything is set up.
2. Secure the handover
We collect admin access securely, change credentials, work with your outgoing provider where they cooperate, and fix urgent security gaps early.
3. Support and review
Your team gets the help desk, monitored and updated devices, and regular reviews with you.
What makes us different
Accountability, plain English, and security from day one
Three commitments behind every SupportMax relationship.
Accountability
One team
A named point of contact
One team for IT and security
Vendor coordination
Westside onsite visits
Clarity
Plain English
Documented environment
Written scope and proposal
Regular owner reviews
No fear tactics
Security
From day one
MFA on every account
Managed endpoint protection
Backups with restore testing
24/7 threat monitoring
Whoever you choose, ask good questions. CISA's risk considerations for managed service provider customers is a useful checklist, and CISA Cyber Essentials explains the basics every provider should cover.
Honesty
What we will not claim
Many IT companies lead with big numbers, awards, and promises of zero downtime. We would rather earn trust with what we can show you: how we document your systems, how we handle a switch, and how we explain risk in plain English. SupportMax was founded by Ned Yousefzadeh, Founder and Principal Technology Advisor, who helps Los Angeles businesses simplify technology, strengthen cybersecurity, and build reliable IT systems that support long-term growth. If you are still comparing providers, our neutral guide on how to choose an IT company in Los Angeles covers the questions to ask anyone, including us.

What working with SupportMax looks like
01
One contact
A named SupportMax point of contact who knows your business.
02
Help desk
Remote support, with optional 24/7 coverage and onsite visits on the Westside when needed.
03
Reviews
Regular conversations with you about issues, risks, and priorities.
04
Clear scope
A written proposal that says what is included and what is not.
Beyond IT support
What SupportMax clients get that most IT providers don’t offer
Practical extras that make it easier to try us, pay for what you need and stay ahead of problems. They come with our flexible pricing packages, and you can add individual services as your business needs them.
01
Risk-free 30-day evaluation
Try our services for 30 days, risk free, before you commit. You see how we work with your team before making a longer decision.
02
Quarterly reviews
Every quarter we review what happened, what’s coming up and where your technology and security stand, with a clear list of next steps. Each review includes a security checkup against the CIS Controls, so you see what’s covered and what to fix first.
03
Payment terms and customer financing
Spread the cost of hardware and software into monthly, quarterly or annual payments over 12 to 60 months, with the first payment deferred up to 90 days, on approved credit.
04
Free phone and internet bill review
Send us your current phone and internet bills. We'll show you what you're paying for, where services overlap, and what comparable service costs today. There's no charge and no obligation.
05
Carrier comparison for internet and phone
We check which carriers can serve each of your locations, including a backup internet line, and compare quotes from dozens of providers so you don't have to call them one by one.
06
Lower hardware pricing on volume purchases
When you buy computers or equipment in volume, we register the deal with the manufacturer to request special pricing, so larger purchases can cost less.
07
Help switching carriers
Stuck in a contract with a provider you've outgrown? When a new carrier offers switching incentives, such as a contract buyout, waived installation or promotional pricing, we find them and handle the paperwork.
08
Devices set up before they ship
New laptops and computers are configured with your apps, security and settings before they leave the warehouse, so a new hire can log in and start working on day one.
09
Licenses and renewals tracked for you
We track your licenses and subscriptions from setup through adoption, growth and renewal, so nothing lapses and nothing renews without a decision. See the Microsoft 365 add-ons and security tools we offer.
10
Onsite support nationwide
Offices beyond our normal travel range are covered too. We arrange onsite technicians across the United States, coordinated by your SupportMax team, so every location gets the same standard of support.
11
Responsible device recycling
When equipment is retired, we arrange responsible recycling, so old devices are handled properly instead of sitting in a closet or ending up in a landfill.
12
Free cyber range sessions
Your team can practice responding to a simulated cyberattack in a live training environment, at no cost to you. Sessions run in person at the cyber range in Gilbert, Arizona, or online, so your team can take part from Los Angeles. It turns an incident plan on paper into something people have actually rehearsed.
Client stories
Why Los Angeles businesses chose SupportMax
Our last provider only showed up when things broke.
“We had been burned before by a provider who was hard to reach and rarely followed through. SupportMax took a proactive approach from the start, and the recurring issues we used to just live with have largely stopped.”
Dara Ivorywood - Owner, Healthcare Practice
Responsive, honest, and genuinely accountable.
“From the first conversation, SupportMax was responsive and upfront about what they could and couldn't do. When issues came up, they took ownership and kept us informed the whole way through, which made it easy to trust them.”
Jonah Goldenstone - Practice Manager, Dental
A partner we don't have to second-guess.
“For the first time, we feel like we have an IT partner who is actually invested in our success. That confidence has taken a real weight off leadership.”
Kaia Briarvale - Executive Director, Nonprofit
