Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a comprehensive, cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system designed for small to medium-sized businesses. It connects sales, service, finance, and operations to help you work smarter, adapt faster, and perform better. It is trusted by over 45,000 companies worldwide.
Microsoft publishes three licensing tiers: Business Central Essentials at approximately £53 per user per month, Business Central Premium at approximately £76 per user per month, and Team Member at approximately £6 per user per month. Implementation costs vary depending on complexity. Veriland Consulting offers fixed-price starter packages to give UK SMEs cost certainty.
Business Central Essentials covers finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, and project management. Premium adds manufacturing and service management capabilities. Most SMEs start with Essentials and upgrade to Premium as their operations grow. Team Member licences provide read-only access and limited data entry for occasional users.
A standard Business Central implementation typically takes 8 to 16 weeks, depending on the number of modules, data migration complexity, and integrations required. Veriland Consulting's fixed-price starter packages are scoped for delivery within 8 to 12 weeks for straightforward deployments.
Yes. Business Central supports multiple currencies, multiple companies (entities), and intercompany transactions out of the box.
