Microsoft 365,
set up
properly.

Microsoft 365 is your email, your files, Teams and the security around them. We set it up properly, keep it tidy, and check you're not paying for licences you don't use — most businesses are.

What's included

Most setups are
10% set up and 100% paid for.

Microsoft 365 runs half of most small businesses. But most setups we inherit haven't been touched since day one: weak sign-in security, oversized licences, files dumped in areas named "Site 17", and sharing settings that'd give your accountant a nosebleed.

01 · MICROSOFT 365

Who can sign in

Sensible sign-in security: two-step sign-in (the code on your phone), rules about which devices can connect, and tidy control over who can see what. The foundation everything else sits on.

  • Two-step sign-in
  • Device rules
  • Tidy access groups

Company computers & phones

Every company computer set up the same way: the right apps installed, everything encrypted, and new starters' machines ready out of the box. Phones too, if you take our mobile service.

  • New computers ready day one
  • Apps installed for you
  • Lost-device protection
03 · MICROSOFT 365

Files & Teams

Files organised so people can actually find them. Sensible rules about who sees what. Old, unused areas tidied away. Search that finds things.

  • Folders that make sense
  • Tidy-ups as needed
  • Safe sharing with outsiders

Email that behaves

Email that arrives, with protection against fakes and scams. Shared inboxes (like info@) set up without wasting licences. Old mail archived sensibly.

  • Scam & fake-sender protection
  • Shared inboxes
  • Sensible archiving

Built-in security, switched on

Microsoft's built-in security tools, actually turned on: protection on every computer, scam-email filtering, and extra care for genuinely confidential documents.

  • Protection on every computer
  • Scam-email filtering
  • Confidential-file controls

Licences kept tidy

Microsoft licences come in confusing tiers, and most businesses are paying for more than they use. We review what you've got regularly and trim the waste.

  • Regular reviews
  • Right licence per person
  • Waste trimmed
Who it's for

Worth talking about if
any of these itch.

If you're happy with your Microsoft 365 setup, you don't need us. Most businesses we meet aren't — they just haven't had time to fix it.

PROFILE 01

Inherited a mystery setup

You've taken over a business — or a system — that nobody fully understands. Time to look under the bonnet and tidy up.

PROFILE 02

Tightening up access

After an insurer's questionnaire or a near-miss, you want sign-in security done properly — for every person, on every device.

PROFILE 03

Hybrid work mess

Shared files are a free-for-all, Teams has 60 sprawling channels, no one can find anything. The tools aren't the problem; the setup is.

PROFILE 04

Paying too much

Everyone's on the most expensive licence whether they need it or not. A review usually pays for itself.

Getting started

Look first,
change second.

We don't change anything before we understand it. Most projects start with a health check — free, even if you don't go further.

STEP 01

Health check

A senior engineer checks everything over: security, licences, how your files are organised. You get a written report in plain English.

STEP 02

Plan

Recommendations in priority order: quick wins first (free or cheap), bigger structural changes next, longer projects last.

STEP 03

Make the changes

Changes made in stages and explained to your team before they happen. Nothing that affects how people sign in gets switched on for everyone at once.

STEP 04

Keep it tidy

Then we keep looking after it: day-to-day admin, licence reviews, security kept up — and a proper check-in when it's useful.

Pricing

Bundled with
our managed IT.

Looking after Microsoft 365 is included in our standard per-person IT support pricing. One-off health checks and projects are a fixed price.

INCLUDED FROM
£45/person / month
One-off health check: £950 fixed price. Microsoft licence costs are separate — we can put them on our bill at Microsoft's own prices, with no markup.
PS
They went through our Microsoft setup and immediately saved us £900 a month on licences. The first invoice paid for the first quarter of work.

FAQ

Common questions

A mix of "how do we get this licence stuff right" and "what should we be doing about security".

Do you resell Microsoft licences?

Yes, but we're not in it for the margin. We resell licences at list price and bill them on the same monthly invoice as everything else, which most clients find convenient. If you prefer to buy direct from Microsoft, that's fine — we'll manage the tenant either way.

What licence do most small businesses actually need?

Generally a standard licence is fine — you only move up when you genuinely need extra features or tighter security. The right choice depends on where your computers are based and how much you want to manage them centrally through Microsoft 365: access and control for company PCs is handled through Microsoft's cloud accounts (Azure AD). Staff who only need email on a shared device can sit on a cheaper licence. We work out the right mix with you, rather than putting everyone on the most expensive option by default.

Will you change things without telling our staff?

No — we always explain first, test with a small group, then roll out. Anything that changes how people sign in is announced ahead of time, tried with a few people first, then rolled out gradually. We never flip a switch for the whole company on a Friday afternoon.

What does the health check actually look like?

A written report, in plain English, covering security and spend. How well sign-ins are protected, whether your email is protected against fakes, how your files are shared, and whether you're paying for licences nobody uses. Roughly 30–50 pages, with findings ranked by how urgent they are.

Can you help us tighten security in Microsoft 365?

Yes — sensible sign-in security and device protection are core to how we run it. We switch on the protections most small businesses are missing. We don't sell formal security certifications, but a properly-run Microsoft 365 setup covers most of the everyday security basics.
