IT that just works.

Help desk, IT support, and technology projects for small businesses across Northern Virginia.

From a two-person office to a growing 50-person team, you get a real help desk to call when something breaks—and engineers who head off the next problem before it happens.

Based in Herndon, VA · onsite across Northern Virginia & the DMV

Priced by device, not headcount · No call center · No long-term lock-in

Hands-on with the tools small businesses actually use.

Two ways we can help.

Help desk & managed IT

A Northern Virginia help desk, one monthly price.

Your team gets one place to call. We look after computers, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, security, backups, and networks — so the little technology problems stop landing on the owner’s desk.

  • Unlimited help desk
  • Device management & security
  • Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace
  • Backup & recovery
  • Network & Wi‑Fi support
  • Vendor coordination

IT projects

Get the job done right, once.

Something to install, move, replace, or finally fix? We scope it, give you a clear price, and run it start to finish. You do not have to become a monthly client first.

  • Office moves & new offices
  • Wi‑Fi & network upgrades
  • Cabling & server rooms
  • Phones & conference rooms
  • Cameras & door access
  • Cloud migrations

Built for small teams. Backed by big skills.

You should not need fifty employees to get serious tech support. We are built around the small offices, practices, shops, and owner-led companies that bigger IT providers tend to overlook.

Small-business sized

Our sweet spot is one to twenty employees, with support up to about fifty. No minimum head count.

Senior people answer

No tiers to climb. Whoever picks up the phone is someone who can fix the problem.

We are actually local

Based in Herndon. Most fixes are remote because that is faster — when it needs hands, we are close.

One technology partner

Computers, cloud, Wi‑Fi, security, phones, cameras, and websites do not live in separate universes.

One team for the technology your business runs on.

All of it from the same senior engineers — covered by monthly support, or quoted as a standalone project.

Trusted by professional offices, healthcare practices, contractors, retail, hospitality, and other small businesses across Northern Virginia.

From Wi‑Fi to WTF, we’ve probably seen it.

Getting tech help shouldn’t feel like calling an insurance company.

When something goes wrong you should know who to call, and you should not have to explain your business from scratch every time.

You also should not have to decode a proposal full of acronyms to find out what something costs. That is the company we have built: the IT department for businesses too small to have an IT department.

Real engineers. Clear answers. Local when you need us.

Not sure what you need?

That’s normal. Start wherever you are.

Something keeps breaking

Computers, email, printers, Wi‑Fi, security alerts — or you are tired of being the person everyone asks.

Talk about ongoing support

We have a specific project

Moving offices, replacing Wi‑Fi, installing cameras, migrating Microsoft 365, or cleaning up years of accumulated IT.

A few common questions.

Can you support a company with only a few employees?

Yes—that's specifically what we're built for. There is no large-company minimum, and we regularly work with owner-operated and very small businesses. Our best work happens between one and twenty employees; above roughly fifty people we usually work alongside internal IT instead of replacing it.

Do we have to sign up for monthly support?

No. Managed IT is there for businesses that want ongoing support, but project work can be completely standalone—office moves and new suites, cabling and Wi‑Fi, phone systems, cameras and door access, conference room AV, server room cleanups, and Microsoft 365 or Google migrations. Plenty of clients start with a project and add monthly support later; plenty never do, and that's fine.

Can you come onsite?

Yes. We're based in Herndon, so Reston, Fairfax, Chantilly, Centreville, Sterling, Ashburn, Tysons, and Vienna are a short drive for walkthroughs, installs, cabling, and anything that can't be fixed over a wire. Most everyday support is handled remotely because it's faster.

Do you offer a help desk in Northern Virginia?

Yes—that is the day-to-day of managed IT for us. Your team emails, chats, or calls, and a senior engineer picks it up. Most help desk work is remote because it is faster. When something needs hands on a desk or a rack, we come onsite across Northern Virginia.

What does managed IT include?

A help desk your whole Northern Virginia team can actually reach, plus computers and devices, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, cybersecurity, patching, monitoring, backups, and vendor coordination. We spell out exactly what is covered before you sign anything.

How much does managed IT support cost?

Managed support is priced by the devices we manage rather than by headcount. The base plan is $429/month and covers your router or firewall plus the first ten managed devices with unlimited remote support; anything beyond that is charged at published tier rates, and servers are priced separately. Projects are scoped and quoted fixed-price before work begins. Our managed IT cost calculator gives you a real number before you talk to anyone.

What does Knockout Networks do?

We're a Northern Virginia managed IT services provider (MSP) for small businesses. Two things: a flat-rate monthly help desk and IT support plan (devices, email, security, backups) and one-time IT projects (office moves, structured cabling and Wi‑Fi, phones, AV, cameras, server rooms, cloud migrations). Cybersecurity, HIPAA-aligned healthcare IT, CMMC readiness, fractional CTO work, and AI integration come from the same team.

Do you build and integrate AI for small businesses?

Yes, once the basics are solid. We build AI around your own information (customer records, files, how-tos), set it up with the right permissions and spending limits, and roll it out with a plan—an assistant that answers questions, paperwork that fills itself in, tools that finally talk to each other. It's a capability, not a prerequisite: most clients hire us for support and projects first.

Do you support HIPAA-aligned healthcare IT?

Yes. We help practices implement HIPAA-aligned technical safeguards—access control, encryption, logging, backup and recovery discipline, and vendor review—paired with your policies and BAAs. We are an IT partner, not a law firm; your compliance counsel defines legal obligations.

Which areas do you serve?

Our office is at 13873 Park Center Rd, Suite 184, Herndon, VA 20171. From there we serve the greater DMV—Northern Virginia (Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, Prince William, and the rest of NoVA), Washington DC, and Maryland (Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and up to Baltimore), plus Northern Virginia south to Fredericksburg. We are a Northern Virginia shop, not a statewide Virginia vendor covering Richmond or the rural parts of the state. Remote-first IT support everywhere we cover; local engineers for onsite surveys, installs, and projects.

Are you the same team as Biz-Focus?

Same parent company, same engineers, same phone. Knockout is the structured MSP plan — published pricing and a help desk as the main product. Biz-Focus is managed IT and networking with no long-term contract.
