The Setup Problem

You’re paying for tools you never fully configured.

Most small businesses don’t have an IT team. So Microsoft 365 gets purchased, maybe a few mailboxes get created, and the rest never happens. Files stay in personal drives. Teams is installed but not organized. MFA isn’t enforced. SharePoint sits empty.

The result: a paid enterprise platform used like a free email account — and the business keeps running on the same informal patterns it outgrew months ago.

Common Questions

About M365 Kickstarter.

Who is Kickstarter designed for?

Small businesses with up to 10 users moving off consumer-grade tools (personal Gmail, scattered shared drives, unstructured file sharing) to a professional Microsoft 365 environment. If your team is larger than 10 users or you need more advanced configuration, M365 Ascend is the right fit.

What if we already have M365 but it wasn’t set up right?

Kickstarter works for existing tenants too. We’ll audit what’s currently deployed, identify gaps, and rebuild around professional standards — security defaults, proper SharePoint architecture, documented configuration, and admin training.

What happens after the engagement closes?

You own the environment. We hand off design documentation, admin training, and a collaboration governance guide so your team can run independently. For ongoing PM support on follow-on initiatives, the OPS retainer is available.
