Microsoft 365 for Business: Setup & Management
We set up and manage Microsoft 365 as a single environment: users, licences, domains, DNS, security policies and MFA. Every engagement starts with an audit of the existing tenant, and we hand over DNS and policy documentation so you know at any time what is in force, who has access, and why.
Who it is for
- Companies whose Microsoft 365 was set up quickly and grew unmanaged
- Businesses with no MFA, or with leavers still holding active accounts
- Organisations wanting one owner for licences, email and files
- Shipping companies running shore offices across multiple locations
When we are NOT the right choice
- If only licence resale is wanted, with no management
- If administrative access to the tenant is not granted
- If the requirement is legal compliance services, which we do not provide
PROCESS
The process
Indicative times from signature of the proposal, subject to hardware availability. Every project is shaped to the size and the needs of the client.
01Tenant audit
We record licences, users, domains, DNS records, security policies and MFA coverage, and rank the findings by severity.Time: 2-5 working daysDeliverable: Findings report: licences, users, domains, DNS, MFA
02Remediation plan with costs
We separate what must be fixed immediately, such as dormant accounts still holding access, from what can be scheduled.Time: With the quotationDeliverable: Priorities with a cost against each action
03Policy implementation
We enable MFA, define access policies and build a group and permission structure that survives company growth.Time: 1-2 weeks depending on sizeDeliverable: MFA, access policies and group structure
04User transition
We hand over instructions covering what actually changes for users, mainly MFA and access to shared files.Time: During implementationDeliverable: Written instructions per role
05Ongoing management
We manage users, licences and renewals, with periodic review so you stop paying for licences nobody uses.Time: Ongoing, under agreementDeliverable: Licence register and periodic review

From practice
Microsoft 365 is rarely set up wrong on day one. It degrades gradually: one account for a new contractor, one MFA exception for a director, a shared mailbox that became a fully licensed user.
The audit always starts from three questions: which accounts are active that should not be, which licences are paid for but unused, and where access exists without MFA. The answers are almost always more interesting than management expects.
Prerequisites
- Administrative access to the tenant
- Control of the domain and its DNS records
- A list of users with roles and access requirements
- A decision to enable MFA across all users
Cost
Initial remediation is quoted as a project, based on user count and tenant condition. Ongoing management sits within the support agreement at a monthly charge. Microsoft licences are billed separately, at manufacturer cost.
We do not publish a price list. Every proposal follows a site survey and separates hardware from labour.
What moves the cost
- Number of users and licence types
- Condition of the tenant at handover
- Whether migration from another environment is required
- Number of domains and DNS complexity

We start with a tenant audit: what you pay for, who holds access, and what is missing in MFA and policy.
