Microsoft 365 Support for Kidderminster Businesses

SMB Pricing
Enterprise-grade Microsoft 365 management at pricing that makes sense for Kidderminster businesses.
Microsoft 365 that works as hard as you do
Kidderminster firms are practical and results-focused. Your Microsoft 365 setup should be the same. Not bloated with features no one uses. Not left on weak default settings. Not costing more than it needs to.
Our Microsoft 365 service is built for firms like yours. We set up the platform for what your team actually does. We turn on the safety tools you're already paying for. And we cut out the jargon. The aim is simple: tech that works, and stops getting in the way.
Microsoft 365 plans in plain English
There are three main plans for small firms. Business Basic gives you web-only email and Teams - around five pounds per user per month at typical list prices. Business Standard adds installed Word, Excel, and Outlook for around ten pounds. Business Premium adds device management, Conditional Access, and anti-phishing tools for around eighteen pounds.
For most Wyre Forest firms, Premium is the right plan. The two mistakes we see most often? Firms on Standard who really need Premium for the safety extras. And firms paying for Premium who never switched the extras on. We fix both.
What we set up
- Email security: Anti-phishing, anti-spam, safe attachments, and multi-factor login - which alone stops the vast majority of account hacks.
- Teams: Tidy channels, video meetings, and Teams Phone to take over from old phone lines. Most firms cut phone costs by a third or more.
- SharePoint: A sensible folder layout, clear permissions, and search that actually finds the file. Replaces messy shared drives and USB sticks.
- Intune: Every laptop and phone managed from one screen. We push updates, set up screen locks, and wipe lost kit before it costs you.
- Backup: Because Microsoft 365 does not back itself up - a fact that surprises most people we meet.
Migration made simple
If you're moving from a legacy email host, a local file server, or another cloud setup, we handle everything. We plan the cut-over, copy every email and file, set up security from day one, and train your team. Most moves run over a weekend so your staff come in on Monday and just find things working. Better, in fact.
SMB pricing, no long lock-ins
We're open about pricing. No three-year deals. No surprise invoices. For the deeper dive on plans, see our Business Premium page.

Common questions
We're a small Kidderminster business - is Microsoft 365 worth it?+
For most businesses with 5+ staff, yes. The productivity tools (Teams, SharePoint) and security features (MFA, anti-phishing) alone justify the cost. And with proper licence selection, it's surprisingly affordable. We'll recommend the right plan for your size and needs.
Does Microsoft 365 back up our data?+
Not by default - a common misconception. Microsoft provides availability (uptime) but not true backup. If someone accidentally deletes files, or ransomware encrypts your data, Microsoft's built-in protection has limitations. We deploy proper backup as part of our M365 management.
Can we keep our existing email addresses?+
Absolutely. We migrate your existing domain and email addresses to Microsoft 365. Your team keeps their addresses, and your clients won't notice any change - except that email might be a bit faster and more reliable.
What's the cheapest Microsoft 365 option for a small team?+
Microsoft 365 Business Basic starts from around £5/user/month for web-only Office apps, email, and Teams. Business Standard adds desktop apps for around £10/user/month. Business Premium at around £18/user/month adds Intune and advanced security. We recommend the right balance for your needs.
Can you set up Teams for our Stourport or Bewdley team?+
Yes - we support businesses across the entire Wyre Forest district. Teams deployment, training, and ongoing support are the same wherever you're based in the area.
