Guide
A UK business without an IT team can choose Microsoft 365 by matching each role to a plan, keeping the licences in its own tenant and asking for help where needed. Compare the full term cost, renewal rules and support before ordering. Dead Simple 365 offers online quote requests, a free licence audit and optional UK support without a mandatory managed IT contract.

One licence or a whole team. No payment or order when you send a request.
You might be the owner, office manager, finance manager or the person who has quietly looked after email for years. You need suitable licences, understandable costs and a clear way to ask for help.
You do not need to buy a managed IT service to request a licence quote. Small orders are welcome, as are businesses reviewing a larger mix of Microsoft products. Start with what your staff need and what you already have.
Start with your product list, the number of people needing each plan and any renewal dates. Choose a commitment and billing frequency separately.
Request a quote online with your plan, seats and renewal date. We confirm the price and next steps by email before you commit. No sales call is required.
Send your products, quantities and preferred billing in the quote builder. We confirm your price, tenant and subscription terms by email. After acceptance, our team arranges payment and supply. Requesting a quote places no order. Licences are available on their own, with technical services scoped separately.

The exact variant matters, including whether Teams is included. Use our Standard versus Premium guide and Microsoft's plan comparison to check requirements.
Licences are assigned to named users as appropriate. A shared job role or shared device does not automatically mean several people can share one user licence.
Identify who is responsible for user accounts, licence assignments, password recovery, device setup, security policies and backups. Buying a licence does not complete those tasks.
Keep appropriate administrator access and recovery arrangements for your business's tenant. Give support providers only the access needed for the agreed work.
You can use an existing IT provider or request separately priced help with setup, migration or ongoing management. We confirm licensing support and fulfilment steps with your quote.
Comparing different products. Check desktop apps, Teams, email and any support included in the price.

Assuming an assigned licence is being used. Counts can show unassigned capacity; deciding whether staff need assigned licences takes separate evidence.
Cancelling before a handover is ready. Identify the tenant, active subscriptions and replacement arrangements first.
Using an old campaign price. The July 2026 change is historical. Compare current written quotes and full term costs.
We offer annual commitment paid upfront or monthly commitment paid monthly, where available. Annual upfront is one payment for the full year. Monthly flexible has a one-month commitment, with its own price and renewal terms. Cancellation, seat reductions and upgrades depend on the exact subscription and eligible change window. Confirm the terms before ordering.
You can request a quote online and discuss the details by email. Our team checks and fulfils an accepted order; the form does not automatically purchase licences. A managed IT contract is optional, and any setup work is agreed separately.
Basic suits browser and mobile productivity, Standard adds installed Office apps, and Premium adds security and management capabilities. Our annual upfront monthly equivalents are £4.97, £9.94 and £15.55 per user ex VAT. Choose the exact variant against each person's requirements.
It is your organisation's Microsoft cloud environment, containing users and services. Keep appropriate administrator access and recovery arrangements. A supplier change may use the existing tenant, but subscription commitments and provider handover requirements still need checking.
Not always. The answer depends on the current tenant, access, products and provider arrangements. We establish the appropriate route before you commit. Keep existing services active until the replacement and any agreed handover are verified.
It reads available and assigned licence quantities and can flag unassigned capacity. It estimates recognised products using our catalogue. It does not read invoices, user activity, security configuration or renewal dates, so provide those details separately where needed.
