You might check with Geoffrey Myers. He's on the ALE list and has done work for me in the past.

I started doing small business consulting for a few companies while I was considering what to do next with my career.  Now 3 years later, I have 20+ clients, and the workload is sometimes impossible due to that sleep thing.  I now have a client that is asking about my availability for some kind of guaranteed response time to their issues.  While I'm not looking to guarantee them response time, I know that my customers occasionally suffer because I just can't handle two emergencies at once.  My customers are 30% Linux & 70% Microsoft (usually Quickbooks driven).

Is there anyone out there with Linux & a hefty amount of Microsoft SBS experience, who is also operating his or her own company that is interested in setting up some kind of agreement to back each other up in the event of customer overload?  I'd prefer someone who has an existing business supporting small businesses as his primary source of income.

I'm typically serving clients from Buford to Roswell to Dallas to Mableton.

Thanks,
