Why a Microsoft Business Account Matters

Many small businesses start out using personal Gmail accounts—and that works in the beginning. But when you’re ready to operate as a true business, you need tools that are designed for business. That’s where Microsoft 365 Business comes in.

Microsoft 365 provides a professional email system, secure cloud storage, Teams for collaboration, and enterprise-grade security. It’s the foundation businesses build on, and it integrates directly with InventorySync for the best experience.

What Hepner Consulting Provides

As your IT partner Hepner consulting is the company behind InventorySync, we don’t just leave you on your own to figure this out—we set up your Microsoft Business account for you at NO COST

Here’s what we do:

  1. Account Creation – We set up the Microsoft Business account on your behalf, using your company’s information. The account belongs to you, so if you ever choose to move on from our services, you take everything with you.

  2. Domain Setup –

    • If you already own a domain, we configure it to work with Microsoft 365 (for email and identity).

    • If you don’t have one, we’ll guide you through choosing and registering one (usually about $10–15 per year).

  3. Licensing Guidance – Most businesses start with Microsoft 365 Business Basic, which is approximately $6 per user/month. You’re only responsible for Microsoft’s licensing costs and any optional add-ons you choose.

  4. Configuration – We ensure your account is set up securely and ready for use with InventorySync and any other business tools you need.

The setup takes about an hour in a remote meeting with our team.

What It Costs You

  • Domain: $10–15 per year (if you don’t already have one).

  • Microsoft Business Basic license: about $8 per month per user.

  • Our setup: no charge.

That’s it—low ongoing costs for access to one of the best business toolsets available.

Already Have a Microsoft Business Account?

If your company already runs on Microsoft 365, we offer a free one-hour system review. In that session, we’ll:

  • Make sure your environment is configured correctly, securely, and optimized for InventorySync.

  • Highlight areas where your IT could be improved.

  • Answer questions about scaling your Microsoft environment as your company grows.

Why We Do This

This isn’t just about software—it’s about helping your business succeed from the start. By getting you set up correctly, we make it easier for you to use InventorySync effectively and put your company on a solid technology foundation.

And because we’re Microsoft partners, we know how to configure everything the right way. That means fewer headaches for you, better security, and a system that scales as you grow.

There really is not a catch—what we’re offering is exactly as described. The main reason we do this is to make it easier for you to use our system the way it was designed. When your Microsoft environment is set up correctly from the start, it reduces the chance of issues and prevents unnecessary help desk tickets. That means smoother operations for you and a more efficient support experience for us. You’d be surprised at how many problems come from an environment that isn’t configured properly—yet with just a short amount of setup time, we can make your day-to-day use of Microsoft tools far simpler, more reliable, and more productive.
