Our business is closing ,due to retirement in a few months time.

We will need to keep the servers running after closure of premises.
What are the options to keep costs down please .
Any ideas please?

More detail needed to make a viable comment.

Also, if the business is viable ongoing, why not sell the business as a going concern?

As per the poster above, more info… what are the servers doing and will continue to need doing?

For how long will they need to continue to exist?

Maintained? By whom?

You could either physically move them to a private hosting service or if they are not already virtual, P2V them and put them in azure. Cost depends on size and technical requirements.

Third party hosting is going to be the cheapest option.

As others have said we have no idea if that’s appropriate because your question is too light on detail.
