Business email questions

Can I keep using Gmail?

Yes. The simplest setup forwards messages into your existing Gmail inbox, and Gmail can usually be set up so your replies come from your business address.

Do I need Microsoft 365?

Not always. It's a great choice if you want proper mailboxes, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive or several staff accounts. For a simple setup, forwarding to Gmail may be all you need.

What if I don't have a domain?

I'll help you choose and register one (from £30), then connect your email and, if you'd like, a simple website.

Can you set it up on my phone?

Yes. I can set up your new email on your phone, tablet, laptop, Outlook, Apple Mail or the Gmail app so it's ready to use.

Which address should I use?

Popular choices are hello@, info@, enquiries@, bookings@ or your own name. I'll suggest what suits your business.
