THE DAY ZERO PACKAGE
FOUR BLOCKS · ONE PRICE · ONE HANDOVER
BLOCK 01

BUSINESS EMAIL & IDENTITY

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace on your own domain. DNS, SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured properly so your mail lands. Shared mailboxes, groups, signatures and a joiner/leaver process written down.

BLOCK 02

CYBER SECURITY BASELINE

MFA enforced on every account, disk encryption, endpoint protection, automated backup with a tested restore, separated admin accounts, and a one-page incident plan you can hand to an insurer.

BLOCK 03

NETWORK & HARDWARE

Router, switching, Wi-Fi and guest separation specified for the space you’re actually in. Laptops sourced, enrolled in management and handed over ready to log in on the first morning.

BLOCK 04

YOUR LIVE WEBSITE

A live site on your domain — what you do, who you are, how to reach you. Contact routing into your new mailboxes, SSL, analytics and a form that doesn’t go to spam.

HOW THE WEEK RUNS
DAY 1

SCOPE & DOMAIN

Headcount, devices, where you work, what you must comply with.

DAY 2

EMAIL LIVE

Tenant built, records cut over, mailboxes tested end to end.

DAY 3

SECURITY ON

MFA, encryption, backup and policy applied to every account.

DAY 4

KIT & NETWORK

Hardware configured, enrolled, labelled and delivered.

DAY 5

HANDOVER

Site live, credentials transferred, documentation walked through.

THEN, ONLY IF YOU WANT IT
MANAGED SUPPORT · MONTH TO MONTH
HANDOVER ONLY

You take the keys. Thirty days of questions answered, then it’s yours to run. Everything is documented for whoever picks it up next.

MANAGED SUPPORT

Unlimited helpdesk in business hours, patching and monitoring, new starter and leaver onboarding, and a quarterly security review as you grow past your first five people.

Why Day Zero IT
Not an MSP · not a DIY toolkit

Most companies launch with their IT foundations bolted together ad hoc — a personal Gmail account standing in for business email, no backups, security added only after a scare. We exist to get it right from day zero, before those habits and gaps become expensive to unwind.

Traditional MSPs

Priced for teams you don’t have yet

Ongoing monthly retainers from around £25–£75 per user, built for businesses that already have some IT in place — not the zero-to-one moment.

DIY / self-service tools

Time and risk most founders don’t have

Microsoft, Google, Wix and similar let you self-serve at low direct cost — if you have the time, confidence and security know-how to get it right first time.

Day Zero IT

One fixed price, scoped and done in a week

A single build, quoted after a short call, with an optional glide path into ongoing support — no long-term contract, no juggling separate suppliers.

43% of UK businesses reported a cyber security breach or attack in the past 12 months — most had no formal IT setup in place when it happened.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU BOOK THE CALL

It’s one fixed price, quoted after a short scoping call — not a published day rate, because headcount, devices and compliance needs change the build. Most calls take twenty minutes, and the price doesn’t move once we’ve agreed it.

About five working days end to end: domain and scope on day one, mailboxes live on day two, security switched on by day three, hardware delivered on day four, and a full handover on day five.

Four blocks, handed over configured, documented and in your name: Business Email & Identity, a Cyber Security Baseline, Network & Hardware, and Your Live Website.

No — Day Zero IT is built for companies with no IT function yet. A blank slate, a new incorporation, or a personal Gmail account standing in for business email are exactly the starting points we’re set up for.

You do. Every admin account is created and handed over in your name from day one — there’s no vendor lock-in, and nothing we hold the keys to.

It’s optional. Handover Only gives you thirty days of questions and full documentation to run it yourself. Managed Support adds unlimited business-hours helpdesk, patching, monitoring and a quarterly security review — billed month to month, no long-term contract either way.

No. Traditional MSPs price ongoing retainers for teams that already have some IT in place. Day Zero IT is a single fixed-price build for the zero-to-one moment, with an optional glide path into support afterwards.

Book a twenty-minute scoping call. We’ll cover headcount, devices, where you work and what you need to comply with, then quote the build from there.

WHEN DOES YOUR FIRST HIRE START?

Twenty minutes on a call is enough to scope the build and quote it. We work backwards from that date.
