We're here to give smaller organisations a practical alternative to costly, locked-in business software — by making self-hosted open source tools genuinely easy to use.
Free your business IT.
I've worked in IT for more than 30 years, and while technology has moved on enormously, I'd argue that users often end up with less choice, less freedom, more lock-in, and more cost than they used to.
YourApps is my response to that: free the user, free the software, make it easy, and make it affordable.
An IT service with long experience behind it.
yourapps.uk is a business service from First Option Ltd, a private company with over 30 years' experience delivering innovative IT services.
We've worked on complex projects since the days of noisy modems, delivered systems for major organisations, and now we focus on helping smaller businesses get good systems without unnecessary complexity.
Small-team positioning with a human tone.
Our 'global headquarters' are in Alresford, Hampshire — which sounds very impressive until you realise it's a lovely little market town and we're a small team with a big point to make.
Here it is: good systems shouldn't be the exclusive privilege of large organisations with deep pockets and their own IT departments. Smaller businesses deserve great tools too — without the lock-in, without the eye-watering bills, and without needing a degree in server administration just to get started.
