## Frequently Asked Questions
**Location:** 607 St George Blvd, Suite 103, Moncton NB
**What size business is blueBox for?**
Businesses with 5-50 employees across most industries outside of heavily regulated sectors.
**Do I need to buy new computers?**
Not necessarily. We assess your existing hardware and only recommend replacements where needed.
**What about my existing software (QuickBooks, Office, etc.)?**
blueBox integrates with your existing tools. We don't replace what's working - we fill the gaps and add what's missing.
**Can I start with just one component?**
Yes. While the full stack delivers the most value, you can start with any individual component and add more later.
**What happens if I need on-site help?**
On-site visits are available at $125/hour. Most issues are resolved remotely, but we're local and available.
**Is there a contract?**
We recommend a 12-month commitment for full deployment and optimization, but we don't lock you in with punitive terms.
