Clear IT support pricing built around the level of protection your business needs

One fixed monthly cost per person for managed IT support, cyber security and Microsoft 365 management, with project work scoped separately so there are no awkward surprises.

Transparent pricing, no discovery-call ambush. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.

What you are actually buying

The price on the tin is not really the point

You are not just buying helpdesk time or security software. You are buying certainty about what is protected, what is planned and what the monthly cost will be.

Fewer IT distractions for your team

Recurring niggles get properly resolved rather than ticket-by-ticket. Your people stay focused on the work you actually pay them for.

Stronger cyber protection

MFA, Conditional Access, endpoint defence, backups and Cyber Essentials readiness, all included and actively managed, not left as good intentions.

Cleaner Microsoft 365 management

Licences right-sized, tenant configured properly, sharing under control, licence audit run every quarter so you stop paying for what nobody uses.

Easier insurance and compliance

The evidence your insurer, client audit or Cyber Essentials assessment asks for is already in place, not built the week before renewal.

Predictable costs, no surprises

Support is a fixed monthly per-person cost. Project work is scoped and quoted in advance. No out-of-hours call-out invoices. No creeping bill.

Senior advice when it matters

Andy and the team on tap when a decision has real business consequence, without the cost of hiring internal IT leadership.

Simple, transparent pricing

Pick the package that fits your business, scale up any time

You pay a flat £100 per company per month for Microsoft 365 tenant management, plus a clear per‑person rate based on the package you choose. No hidden extras. No confusing bundles. Predictable as you grow.

90‑DAY
GUARANTEE

Our 90‑day satisfaction guarantee

If at any point within the first 90 days you or your team feel anything less than genuinely delighted with your decision to work with us, just let us know. We’ll refund your entire initial investment immediately.

A quick note on licensing

Microsoft licences are separate. The choice is yours.

Microsoft licences themselves are not included in our tiers. You can buy them direct from Microsoft, or have Initial IT supply and bill them. Either way works.

Buy direct from Microsoft

You keep the Microsoft commercial relationship and pay Microsoft on your own card or invoice. We still manage the tenant for you under the £100 / month tenant management fee.

Useful if you already have a Microsoft billing arrangement or want to keep all software costs in one place on your accounts.

Supplied and billed by Initial IT

We provision the licences, handle the renewals, and add them to your monthly invoice. One bill, one supplier, one team to call when something needs sorting.

Useful if you want to consolidate IT spend, simplify accounts, or avoid managing Microsoft billing yourself.

Tell us your preference on the initial call, we can switch you between either route at renewal if your needs change later.

“Initial IT has been an invaluable partner for us for over 15 years. Their professionalism and outstanding customer service have significantly enhanced our operations. They are always quick to assist with any issues, and their support during our two major office moves was exceptional. I highly recommend Initial IT for any organisation seeking reliable IT solutions.”

Choosing between tiers

Which plan fits your business?

The right tier depends less on headcount and more on how much downtime, cyber risk or delayed compliance would actually cost you.

Choose Foundations if

You need reliable support, essential protection and predictable costs. Your business would be uncomfortable losing a day to IT, but not catastrophic.

Choose Elevate if

Cyber insurance, Cyber Essentials or client security questionnaires matter, and you need evidence you can point at.

Choose Fortify if

Technology failure would seriously affect revenue, client service or reputation. You need senior IT ownership and quarterly strategy built in.

Pricing FAQs

Common questions about how we charge

Do you charge a setup or onboarding fee?

Usually we waive setup fees for standard implementations. For more complex migrations or additional services, we’ll provide a clear, upfront quote before any work begins.

What payment methods do you accept?

We request clients sign a direct debit mandate during the onboarding process. Invoices are issued monthly in arrears against your actual team member count.

Is support included in the pricing?

Absolutely yes. All packages come with unlimited remote support during business hours. For 24/7 cover or on-site assistance, we can tailor a plan to suit your needs.

Do you offer discounts?

We don’t offer discounts on our services. Our pricing reflects the cost of delivering a proper, secure managed-IT environment. What we offer instead is the 90-day satisfaction guarantee above.

What if my team member numbers fluctuate?

We bill monthly in arrears against your actual team member count. Add a starter on Tuesday, the next month’s bill reflects it. Lose someone, the bill goes down.

How does it compare to hiring an in-house IT person?

A full-time IT manager in the Midlands runs about £40–55k all-in. For that, you get one person who’ll be sick, take holiday, and only be reachable 9–5. The Elevate package for a 25-person business is about £20,100/year for an entire team and 24/7 monitoring.

Microsoft 365 consultancy

Larger business? Separate M365 consultancy pricing

If you need Microsoft 365 audit, migration, security hardening and managed tenant support as its own workstream (up to 300 staff, UK-wide), we scope that separately from the per-user managed IT tiers above.
