Common questions
What is the main difference between Basic and Standard?
The key practical difference is that Standard is aimed at businesses that also need the installed desktop productivity applications.
Should a security-conscious business choose Premium instead?
Compare Premium if you need central device management and additional account, email and device protection. We can check what your current licences already cover.
Can I buy Standard for an existing Microsoft 365 business?
Tell us your current plan and renewal date before ordering. We check the existing Microsoft environment, available upgrade or transfer route and any current commitment. Keep your existing service active while we confirm the change.
Does the price include installing apps and moving email?
The listed price is for the software subscription. App installation, mailbox migration, domain changes, training and ongoing managed support are agreed separately. Paying for a licence does not automatically complete that setup.
