Why setup fees exist
Setup fees typically cover data migration from your old system, system configuration for your workshop, staff training and initial onboarding support. Some providers build these costs into higher monthly subscriptions instead, while others charge separately to keep the monthly price lower.

Garegi charges no setup fee, no onboarding fee and no data migration fee. The £200/month subscription covers everything from day one: onboarding, training, data migration (where compatible), a booking website and 300 SMS messages per month. Monthly rolling contract; cancel anytime.
