What Input Solutions does

iNPUT Solutions Limited is a privately held, UK-incorporated IT support and managed services provider founded in 1999, registered at 46 Great Delph, St Helens (WA11 0YE), and operating from Haydock. The company delivers six integrated service lines — IT Support (in-house IT department function for businesses plus troubleshooting for home users), Networking (cabled, wireless, and Managed WIFI with separated company and guest access), IT Consultancy, Virus & Spyware Help via Bit Defender Reseller status, Data Security & Backup (traditional and cloud-based), and Internet & Email Help (50GB mailboxes, shared calendars/contacts, 1TB cloud storage). Customers are reached through a sales-led motion via phone (0844 884 9940, 01744 757015) and website enquiry, with no public pricing disclosed.

The business serves two segments within the Northwest of England: small businesses in Merseyside and Blackpool that lack dedicated in-house IT staff, and residential/home users requiring troubleshooting, virus protection, and online safety guidance. Underlying infrastructure rests on managed WIFI, cloud-based and traditional backup, and email hosting; the company holds ICO registration (Z5571849) and GDPR compliance under UK Data Protection Act 1998. Revenue streams mix recurring IT support subscriptions, IT consultancy professional fees, and resale of Bit Defender security products and backup solutions; pricing is quote-based and tailored to client budget.

The company presents as a stable, sub-ten-employee regional managed services provider with a direct/local go-to-market, modest technology differentiators (vendor certifications, local brand), and no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond its established Northwest England footprint.
