Question 1

What should I budget for a monthly IT support contract in Bury St Edmunds?

Accepted Answer

Most small businesses pay between £30 and £80 per user per month for a fully managed IT support contract. The exact figure depends on how many devices each user has, what response times you need, and whether server or cloud management is included. We will give you a fixed quote after a free initial audit so there are no surprises.

Question 2

How is remote IT support priced?

Accepted Answer

Ad-hoc remote support sessions are typically charged by the hour, with most businesses paying between £60 and £90 per hour for one-off work. If you are on a monthly support contract, remote support is included within your agreed allowance. We always confirm the likely cost before starting work so you know what to expect.

Question 3

What am I likely to pay for an onsite IT support visit in Bury St Edmunds?

Accepted Answer

For businesses without a monthly contract, onsite support is usually charged between £75 and £120 per hour depending on the nature of the work. Parts are charged separately at cost. Businesses on a support contract have onsite time included or discounted as part of their agreement. We always give you a clear estimate before we start.

Question 4

How much does emergency IT support cost in Bury St Edmunds?

Accepted Answer

Emergency support for businesses without a contract is typically charged at a higher rate than standard support, usually between £100 and £150 per hour for remote work, with onsite attendance priced higher still. The exact rate depends on when you call and the complexity of the fault. We will always confirm the rate before we start so there are no unexpected invoices.

Question 5

What should I budget for pay as you go IT support in Bury St Edmunds?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses should budget between £60 and £100 per hour for ad hoc IT support in the Bury St Edmunds area. Remote sessions are usually at the lower end of that range because there is no travel time involved. A typical single-issue fix - a software fault, a connectivity problem or a new device setup - takes one to two hours in most cases.

Question 6

What am I likely to pay to get Microsoft 365 set up for my small business?

Accepted Answer

Setup costs depend on the number of users and whether you are migrating from an existing email platform or starting fresh. For a small business with five to ten users, you should expect to pay in the region of £150 to £400 for setup and configuration, with migration from an older system sitting at the higher end. That is a one-off charge - the ongoing Microsoft 365 subscription is paid directly to Microsoft.

Question 7

Is cyber security expensive to sort out for a small business?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Many of the most effective security improvements cost nothing at all - enabling multi-factor authentication, applying software updates consistently and using a password manager are free measures that significantly reduce your risk. Where paid tools are recommended, such as endpoint protection software, costs for a small team are typically in the range of £5 to £15 per device per month. Our initial security review is charged at our standard hourly rate.

Question 8

How is phishing training priced for a small team?

Accepted Answer

We price staff training as a flat rate per session rather than per person, so a team of four pays the same as a team of twelve for the same session. A single training session covering phishing recognition and reporting typically costs in the range of £150 to £300 depending on the length and whether bespoke materials are required for your industry. Technical email filtering setup is charged separately at our standard hourly rate.
