Business Central FAQs

Answers to the questions CFOs, Finance Directors, and IT leaders ask us most about Business Central.

How much does a Business Central implementation cost?
Implementation costs depend on your business size and complexity. For small businesses (5-15 users), expect £15,000-£35,000. Mid-market businesses (15-50 users) typically invest £35,000-£100,000. Enterprise (50+ users) ranges from £100,000-£250,000+. We price on fixed fees. No surprise change requests.

Our StartSmart tier delivers go-live in 2-4 weeks for straightforward requirements. GrowthPath implementations take up to 3 months. Complex Ascend implementations run 6-12 months with a phased approach. Business Central’s familiar Microsoft interface often means faster user adoption compared to other platforms.
How does Business Central compare to NetSuite?
Both are excellent cloud ERPs for mid-market businesses. Business Central excels with Microsoft ecosystem integration, native manufacturing, lower licensing costs, and a familiar interface. NetSuite is stronger for multi-entity/international operations, complex revenue recognition, and native e-commerce. As dual-platform specialists, we help you choose objectively. Read our full comparison →
Is Business Central suitable for manufacturing?
Yes. Business Central has a particularly strong native manufacturing module with production BOMs, routing, capacity planning, and shop floor integration. It’s one of the key reasons manufacturers choose BC over other cloud ERPs. The Premium licence (£1,015/user/year) includes the full manufacturing and service management modules.
How does Business Central integrate with Microsoft 365?
Business Central integrates seamlessly with the entire Microsoft stack. You can view and edit data in Teams, create invoices from Outlook, export to Excel with live sync, build dashboards in Power BI, manage documents via SharePoint, and automate workflows with Power Automate. Single sign-on via Azure Active Directory means one login for everything.
Can you migrate us from Sage to Business Central?
Yes. Sage 50 and Sage 200 to Business Central is one of the most common migrations we handle. Business Central even has built-in data migration tools specifically for Sage. The process typically involves mapping your chart of accounts, migrating 2-3 years of historical data, and reconfiguring reporting. Most Sage migrations take 3-4 months.
What Business Central licence do I need. Essentials or Premium?
Essentials (£738/user/year) covers financial management, sales, purchasing, inventory, warehouse management, and project management, which is sufficient for most businesses. Premium (£1,015/user/year) adds manufacturing and service management modules. If you don’t need production BOMs or service order management, Essentials is the right choice. We also offer Team Members licences (£96/user/year) for light users who only need read access and basic data entry.
Does Business Central work with Shopify?
Yes. Microsoft has built a native Shopify connector directly into Business Central. It synchronises orders, inventory, customers, and product data automatically between Shopify and BC. This is a Microsoft-built connector, not third-party middleware, which means it’s maintained and updated by Microsoft with every BC release.
Do you provide ongoing Business Central support?
Yes. We offer managed support packages with certified BC specialists, guaranteed SLAs, and proactive system optimisation. Our support goes beyond break-fix. We help you adopt new BC features, train new staff, and continuously improve your system.
