Start a business
A technology foundation for your first day. And your next chapter.
A new business needs more than a collection of subscriptions. Start with the people, places and processes you need to support, then build a foundation that can grow with them.
The intended output
An agreed launch checklist, a supported workplace and clear operating responsibilities.
Scope and acceptance criteria are agreed during discovery. Product selection follows your requirements, licensing and operating responsibilities.
Plan the foundation
Map roles, locations, budget and launch dependencies. Choose domain ownership, DNS, internet connectivity, website and hosting requirements before purchasing services.
Prepare the workplace
Set up a Microsoft 365 tenant, Entra ID, email, MFA, Teams and document management. Agree device procurement, enrollment, Intune, endpoint protection and employee onboarding.
Connect the business
Choose CRM, accounting, HR and required operational applications. Connect website inquiries, customer records and approvals. Define payroll interfaces with your payroll provider.
Prove readiness
Test Wi-Fi and firewalls, user access, backup restores, Teams Phone where licensed, and joiner/leaver workflows. Train your people and agree ongoing managed support.
