Questions firms ask us

Why publish prices?

Because you should be able to estimate the cost before giving anyone your time. Most firms land within the ranges below; anything unusual is quoted in writing before work begins.

Do you charge per user or per device?

Managed IT is per user, which covers that person's workstation, laptop, phone and Microsoft 365 account. The security stack is per endpoint because each protected device carries its own licenses.

Are there setup fees?

Onboarding is quoted up front and depends on what we find in the assessment. A firm with good documentation and current hardware costs much less to onboard than one with an unmanaged server in the closet.

What is not included?

Hardware and software purchases, large projects such as a server replacement or office move, and work caused by third parties outside our control. Each of these is quoted before we start.

Can we cancel?

Yes. Managed plans are month to month with 30 days written notice. We hand over all passwords and documentation when you leave.
