A 2025 study by ITIC and Calyptix found that small and midsize businesses can lose $8,000 to $25,000 for every hour they are offline.
Why so steep?
Because so much of the workday now lives online.
BetterCloud's 2026 report shows the average company runs around 118 cloud apps, and that count is climbing again after two years of cuts.
Every one of those tools needs a working connection.
So when a single internet line fails, the cost shows up in two places at once:
▸ Lost revenue while customers cannot reach you
▸ Paid staff sitting idle, waiting for systems to come back
The math is simple. One connection is one point of failure.
A tested backup line turns a full stop into a slow hour.
