Case Study – Miftek

Winner of business competition invests in latest PC diagnostic equipment.

Mick Fletcher, owner of Miftek PC and PC consumables in Stocksbridge’s Palace shopping mall, was a winner in the last year’s new entrepreneur competition. Using the £1000 cash award Mick invested in the latest PC Diagnostic equipment that enables him to offer local computer owners a ‘health check’ and ‘PC ‘MOT’on their current equipment.

As Mick says, ‘anyone who has owned a PC for some time will know how sluggish they become the more you use them. That’s because of the amount of ‘junk’ retained by the computer, even when you remove the program or information’

‘Just like having your car serviced, we can now give your PC a ‘health check’ to ensure that your PC is running at maximum speed and efficiency. This means it will respond quicker and produce results faster. In addition, included in the price is an equipment check to ensure that all the hardware components are working at their most efficient.’
Costing just £24.99 or £39.99 on customer’s premises, the PC Health check covers:

1. Diagnostic testing of all hardware using the latest micro 2000 diagnostic equipment to ensure all hardware is performing at its optimum.

2. PC Valet to remove dust and deposits inside the computer that could damage the machine.

3. PC Operating system clean up – safely removing all the junk that will slow the PC down especially after surfing the net.

4. Virus check – to remove or disable any viruses collected by the PC. Plus, free upgrade fitting for any parts bought from Miftek (except motherboards and hard drives) as part of the Health check.

Mick, who established the business last year, selling new and used PC’s, low cost compatible ink cartridges and a repair and upgrade service for PC’s, recently took on the agency for a low cost Internet service that uses pay as you go mobile phone style top up cards. This revolutionary service was recently featured in the national press as an ideal way of ensuring full access to the Internet without the need for credit cards and the worry of large phone bills. Cards cost £10 and give access to the Internet for 30 days.
