Microsoft 365 is now the backbone of most small business IT - email, document storage, video calls and shared calendars all run through the same platform. But getting it configured correctly from the start takes more than clicking a few buttons, and a poorly set up tenancy causes ongoing problems with email delivery, user permissions and data storage. We help businesses in Bury St Edmunds get Microsoft 365 working the way it should, and keep it that way.

The work involves everything from initial tenancy setup and domain verification through to user account creation, mailbox configuration, shared mailbox and distribution group management, Teams channel structure, OneDrive and SharePoint permissions, and mobile device email setup. We also handle migrations from older email platforms - including hosted Exchange, Google Workspace and legacy on-premises servers - with minimal disruption to your working day. If you are already on Microsoft 365 but suffering from spam, delivery failures or a messy folder structure, we can audit and tidy up what is already there.

Email problems cost businesses real money. A misconfigured SPF, DKIM or DMARC record means your emails end up in customers' junk folders - or are rejected entirely. These are not settings that are obvious to non-technical users, and getting them wrong can damage your sender reputation over time. Having someone who understands the technical requirements of Microsoft 365 means these details are handled properly from day one.

We start with a short conversation to understand your current setup, the number of users involved and what is not working. From there we can usually give you a clear picture of what the migration or fix will involve and how long it will take. Most small business Microsoft 365 setups or migrations are completed within one to two working days.

Microsoft 365 Business Basic costs from around £5 per user per month direct from Microsoft - our setup and migration work is charged separately at an agreed fixed price based on the number of users and the complexity of the existing system.

What you get

  • One number to ring, and a person on the end of it who already knows your setup.
  • Updates, backups and security software kept an eye on, rather than left to whoever remembers.
  • An explanation afterwards in words you can repeat to your staff, not a ticket that says "resolved".
  • What is covered and what is charged extra, written down before you sign anything.
  • Your accounts, licences and passwords documented and yours - including on the day you leave us.

Questions

Microsoft 365 and Email Management - common questions

What should I budget for a monthly IT support contract in Bury St Edmunds?
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.
How is remote IT support priced?
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.
What am I likely to pay for an onsite IT support visit in Bury St Edmunds?
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.
How much does emergency IT support cost in Bury St Edmunds?
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.
What should I budget for pay as you go IT support in Bury St Edmunds?
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.
What am I likely to pay to get Microsoft 365 set up for my small business?
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.
Is cyber security expensive to sort out for a small business?
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.
How is phishing training priced for a small team?
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.
