Pricing & Onboarding FAQs
Common questions regarding our engagement model and financial operations.
How long does the onboarding process take?
Standard onboarding for Managed IT services typically takes between 30 and 45 days. This allows our engineering team to perform a deep-stack audit, document your entire infrastructure, deploy our management and security tools, and stabilize any immediate technical debt.
Is there an initial setup or onboarding fee?
Yes. We charge a one-time onboarding fee that covers the labor-intensive process of technical documentation, security hardening, and tool deployment. This ensures your environment is brought up to our operational standards from day one.
How does billing work for Managed IT plans?
Managed IT plans are billed monthly in advance. Our billing is transparent and predictable, based on the number of active users or endpoints in your environment as of the first of the month.
What happens if our user count changes mid-month?
We perform a true-up every month. If you add users during the month, they are pro-rated and added to the following month's invoice. This ensures you only pay for the support capacity you are actually using.
Do you require long-term contracts?
We offer flexible engagement options. While many clients prefer multi-year agreements to lock in pricing and strategic roadmaps, we also offer month-to-month service options for businesses that require maximum flexibility.
Are hardware and licensing costs included in the monthly fee?
Our monthly per-user fees cover labor, support, monitoring, and specific security software included in your chosen tier. Third-party licensing (like Microsoft 365 or Adobe Creative Cloud) and hardware procurement are billed separately, though we manage the entire procurement and deployment process for you.
