Depending on the plan, users can work with applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook through a web browser, mobile device or installed desktop applications. Files can be stored in OneDrive and accessed from different devices.
Microsoft 365 Business is licensed per user. Each person receives access to the applications and services included with the assigned plan.

Each licensed user can have an individual business email account.
Use the web and mobile versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Files can be created, edited and shared through a browser or supported mobile device.
Use the web and mobile applications together with the full desktop versions. Users can install the supported desktop apps on their devices and work with files locally or through Microsoft 365 cloud services.
Each user receives 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage.
Users can store business documents and other work files online, access them from different devices and share them with colleagues when collaboration is required.
Files stored in OneDrive remain connected to the user's Microsoft 365 business account and can be managed through the organisation's Microsoft 365 environment.
Microsoft 365 is designed for employees who work from more than one device.
Business Basic provides access to web and mobile applications. Business Standard and Business Premium also allow the supported desktop applications to be installed on multiple computers and devices for each licensed user.
This allows employees to work from the office, from home or while travelling while using the services included with their assigned plan.
Microsoft 365 Business subscriptions are licensed per user.
As your team changes, administrators can add users, assign licences and manage access through the Microsoft 365 administration environment.
Different employees may have different requirements. A user who only needs business email and web applications may need a different plan from a user who requires desktop applications or advanced security.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium adds security and device management capabilities that are not included with Business Basic or Business Standard.
The plan is designed for businesses that need to protect company devices, manage how users access business resources and reduce exposure to cyber threats.
Business Premium is particularly relevant when employees use company laptops, work remotely or access business data from different locations.
