Latest guide · Microsoft 365 and email
One to two weeks end to end for 5 to 25 people, with the cutover in a single after-hours window. What the fortnight is spent on, and what actually delays one.

The padlock only proves the connection is encrypted, not that the business is real. Five free checks that actually tell you, in about two minutes.
If your CEO emails asking for gift cards, it's likely a scam.
AI writes flawless phishing and clones voices from seconds of audio. Two simple rules stop most of it, and neither is a gadget.
The first hour decides how bad it gets: password from another device, kill every session, check for hidden mail rules, report it. The order matters.
Still the baseline Australian insurers and tenders expect, and it is being replaced by the new Essentials series. What each control means in plain English, and what to do about the transition.
One to two weeks end to end for 5 to 25 people, with the cutover in a single after-hours window. What the fortnight is spent on, and what actually delays one.
Trust, deliverability and ownership all break at a free address. Domain email costs roughly $10 to $20 per user per month and fixes all three.
Mostly no. Deleted Microsoft 365 data survives 14 to 93 days, then it is gone, and Microsoft's own agreement says to back up your content yourself. What a real backup looks like.
A clean migration for a 5 to 25 person business takes 1 to 2 weeks and starts from $1,200, with the cutover in a single after-hours window. The playbook we run.
From $990 built, plus about $10 a month to run. Your postcode does not change the build, but it changes the quotes you get. What drives the number, and the six questions to ask.
Learn the 5 essentials for starting your business website.
Usually one of five fixable causes: no profile, no verification, an unindexed site, no reviews, or a site that tells Google nothing. Most are free to fix and move in days.
From $990 professionally built, plus about $10 a month to run. The real price levels, the ongoing costs nobody budgets for, and how to compare quotes that look wildly different.
Yes, and the Microsoft 365 catch is the one people miss. Office feature updates end on Windows 10 in 2026, but a free year buys time.
Free security updates ended October 2025 and the extension closes October 2026. The risk compounds monthly; the exit plan is simpler than you think.
Most small businesses need both, sized to risk, but they are different jobs. How to tell what you need and avoid paying two vendors twice.
Most Sydney small businesses pay $80 to $150 per user per month. What you actually get at each tier, what pushes the price up or down, and why some MSPs quote three times more than others.
For most businesses under 30 staff, one accountable vendor is the right call. When that's true, when it stops being true, and the questions to ask before you bundle.
What managed IT actually includes, how onboarding works in the first month, and our pricing in plain English. The best starting point if you're comparing providers.
The under-$3-million exemption still exists in 2026, but the new statutory tort ignores it and AI disclosure rules start in December. Who is actually covered.
