G Suite have announced that they will increase their prices on April 2, 2019. The increase will affect both G Suite Basic and Business editions, with G Suite Enterprise remaining the same.

G Suite Basic will increase to £4.60(+ VAT) per user per month, and G Suite Business will increase to £9.21(+ VAT) per user per month. These increases will apply globally, with local market adjustments for certain regions.
(These prices are for an unmanaged service, runPCrun provides first level support for an additional 50p per month per mailbox for both G-Suite plans)

We've sent emails discussing the price changes. Here are the new prices from the start of July 2017.

PAYG Support: This support level will be changed to help reflect the true cost of the work required to maintain documentation and systems for clients and sites. Note that our DirectDebit payment method passes the bookkeeping savings back to you, and can reduce costs significantly back down to the old prices. 
If you wish to move to DirectDebit payment method, we will be sending you a fast & simple web signup form for instant savings shortly.

Please be aware when making large payments online, when seemingly instructed to by company management.

A few weeks ago we had a call from a customers employee who had been asked to make a £20,000 payment to an account by their company director.

The email came from the company directors account, mentioned the their name and which bank account to use. It even looked like many previous emails that had similar instructions to this member of staff.

So I have had the opportunity to start a new business in 2017 for a friend, and it's been eye-opening how easy it is these days to get a proper limited company up and running quickly, and with minimal outlay.

We have been investing heavily in our systems these last few months, and are almost ready to offer these services widely. We have seen many flaws with the On Demand/PAYG model we have used these last years.

runPCrun use a virtual assistant for various tasks to do with running the company.

The benefits in using a virtual assistant are many. The ability to outsource useful, but time consuming tasks such as administration, research and bookkeeping (including credit control) are usefully taken off our plate by competent hands.
