What Business Central work costs here.
Most Microsoft partners will not put a number on a web page. We will. Below are the fixed fees for every engagement we sell as a defined package, the bands our implementation quotes fall into, and Microsoft's published license rates. If your scope does not fit one of these, the assessment exists to price it, and the price arrives in writing before any work starts.

BC Environment Snapshot
One hour with a senior Business Central consultant on a screen share, then a written summary of your environment within five business days. Two to three pages, with your name on it. It is yours to keep, to forward to your CFO, and to act on with any partner, including the one you work with today.
- What we look at
- Version and update posture, extension and customization inventory, integration map, data integrity signals, performance red flags, permissions and access, deployment discipline, and support and knowledge risk.
- What you get
- Your top five findings ranked by risk, what each one means for the business rather than for the code, an effort range for each, and the three things we would do first.
- What it does not include
- Fixing anything, writing code, changing data, or a fixed-price migration plan. Those are paid engagements and we say so before we begin.
The limit of five is real capacity between now and year end, not a marketing device.
// the number
No cost.
Five spots before December 31, 2026.
One hour on a screen share. Report in five business days.
Fixed-fee engagements
BC Health Check
For companies already running Business Central that need to know what shape it is in.
Architecture review across configuration, extensions, integrations, performance, permissions and update risk. Written findings, plus a prioritized remediation roadmap covering what to fix now, next, and never.
No further commitment is required.
From $4,750.
Ten business days.
Tenant size, extension count and integration count move the fee. Larger environments are quoted up to $6,500, and the number is agreed in writing before we start.
Migration Readiness Assessment
For companies on NAV, GP, QuickBooks or another ERP deciding whether and how to move.
Customization disposition, process-fit gaps, integration map, data and archive plan, risk register, executive roadmap, and a fixed-price implementation estimate you can take to your board.
No further commitment is required.
$7,500.
Seven business days after we have access.
Multi-entity or integration-heavy environments are quoted up to $12,500, agreed before we start.
The first three assessments booked in 2026 are $4,900.
AL and Integration Sprint
For companies already on Business Central that need a specific thing built.
A forty-hour-equivalent scope with written acceptance criteria agreed before work begins. Delivered as an upgrade-safe AL app, code reviewed against Microsoft's AL guidelines, with a UAT environment per milestone and documentation at handover.
If the work is larger than one sprint, we price it as a fixed-scope project, not as more hours.
$7,500.
One defined outcome.
What a Business Central implementation costs
We quote implementations at a fixed price after a Migration Readiness Assessment, because a number produced before anyone has looked at your data is a guess. What we can publish is the band our quotes land in, so you know now whether to keep reading.
Standard
Single company on standard modules. Discovery and chart of accounts review, tenant and environment setup, master data and open balances with reconciliation sign-off, role-based training, scripted go-live cutover, thirty-day hypercare.
From $28,500.
Extended
Everything in Standard, plus scoped AL extensions, up to two integrations, advanced workflow and approval matrices, extended power-user training, sixty-day hypercare, documentation and handover.
$45,000 to $90,000.
Complex
Everything in Extended, plus multi-company and intercompany configuration, premium modules such as manufacturing and advanced warehousing, historical transaction migration, and a phased go-live rehearsed per entity.
From $90,000.
Five things move the number
How many distinct user roles you have, what system you are coming from, how much history comes with you, how many integrations you need, and how much you want customized rather than configured. The last one is the largest lever you control.
What a published implementation figure never includes
Microsoft licenses, ISV app licenses, and work outside the agreed scope. Those are quoted as their own lines, so the fixed price stays fixed.
Support retainers
Standard
Portal access for tickets, statements of work, change orders and invoices. Email and portal intake. Same-business-day acknowledgement on priority items. Monthly tenant health check and telemetry review. Quarterly roadmap call. Unused hours roll over subject to tier terms.
From $950 per month.
Five hours.
Premium
Everything in Standard, plus a faster response commitment set in your agreement, integration health monitoring and job-queue alerting, reserved sprint capacity, and a quarterly performance and cost review.
From $3,600 per month.
Twenty hours.
No long-term lock-in. Work larger than routine support graduates into its own fixed-scope proposal rather than quietly consuming your hours.

Tier-by-tier reasoning, with realistic seat mixes: the Business Central pricing guide for 2026.
What to check before you spend anything
We are a small firm with one reference customer and no published case study yet. Rather than ask you to take that on faith, here is what you can verify independently:
Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider. Confirm our status with Microsoft directly.
Certifications. MB-820 Business Central Developer and MB-800 Business Central Functional Consultant.
A published app on Microsoft AppSource, which means Microsoft validated the code.
The actual deliverable. Download a redacted BC Environment Snapshot and see the exact document you would receive. Download the sample.
Billing you can watch. Every engagement runs in a portal you get a login to. Scope is approved before work starts. Scope growth stops and asks with a change order rather than appearing on an invoice. Projected billing is capped at the signed statement of work. Not as a promise. The system does not let it go past what you approved.
We do not publish customer names or quotes without written permission. When a customer agrees to be named, the case study will appear on this page.
Pricing questions, answered
Why do you publish prices when most Business Central partners do not?+
Because you are going to find out eventually, and finding out on a sales call wastes both of us a week. Buyers tell researchers every year that missing pricing is the main thing that makes them drop a vendor. We would rather lose the wrong fit on this page than in month two.
Do you charge by the hour?+
Project work is fixed scope and fixed price, which puts the estimation risk on us. Support retainers are sized in hours and priced monthly, and the rate is in your agreement. We do not publish an hourly rate, because an hour is an input and you are buying an outcome.
What if my project does not fit any of these numbers?+
Then the assessment prices it. You get a written fixed-price proposal within five business days of the scoping call, or a plain explanation of what would have to be known to make it priceable.
Is the Snapshot really free?+
Yes, and the report is yours whether or not you ever hire us. The limit of five before year end is capacity, and when they are gone we will say so here.
What happens if scope grows mid-project?+
It becomes a written change order stating what surfaced, why, and the effect on hours and price. You approve or reject it in one click from email. Rejected work does not happen. Nothing is billed outside an approved scope.
How does license billing work?+
You pay Microsoft's published list rates. We deliver them on one consolidated invoice as a Cloud Solution Provider and help you right-size seats first.
How fast will I get a number?+
Five business days from the scoping call, in writing, with milestones and deliverables attached to the price.
