TeamLogic IT, a nationwide network of computer consultation, maintenance and repair franchise businesses, announces its first international expansion with the recent award of a master franchise agreement for the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The agreement was awarded to Michael Osborne and Allister Crawford, both of Belfast. Their first TeamLogic IT location has officially opened in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The master franchise agreement calls for Osborne and Crawford to own and operate a minimum of one company owned location and to then build a franchise network that will consist of a minimum of 25 locations throughout Ireland and the U.K. in the next five years.

Allister Crawford has owned and operated a company in Belfast called User2 Computers. A portion of the User2 business is to provide IT services to small businesses throughout the Belfast market. This services business was spun off to build the first TeamLogic IT business. According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor GEM Irish report, one in ten of the adult population in Ireland is either actively planning to set up a new business or has recently done so. This level of entrepreneurial activity ranks Ireland fifth of the twenty five OECD countries that participated in the GEM project.

With Irelands high rate of new business start ups, we are confident that we can grow our franchise network quickly, and since more than 97 percent of businesses operating in Ireland today are small businesses, we see a huge opportunity for our technology services to support them.

TeamLogic IT provides a wide array of maintenance and managed services for small to medium sized businesses. Most companies today are extremely reliant on computers, software and networks for daily operations but are challenged with maintaining these systems that have become crucial to their organization. TeamLogic ITs unique, proactive managed services offering, SystemWatch IT, provides affordable enterprise-level support to the small business community. Currently, TeamLogic IT is the only company providing this sophisticated level of managed IT services to small businesses on a national scale.  

Since its launch in 2004, TeamLogic IT has grown to more than fifty franchise locations. The company is strategically focused on developing its network throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. TeamLogic IT is uniquely positioned to benefit from both the growth in small business and the widespread dependency and use of computer networks and systems by organizations seeking to compete in today's global economy.
