Microsoft 365 Business Basic

For small and growing businesses, staying connected and productive without high IT costs is essential. Business Basic gives teams professional tools for email, collaboration, and file sharing, without the complexity or price tag of full desktop software.

Cloud-Based Productivity

Everything runs securely through the internet. Users receive web and mobile access to familiar Microsoft apps such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, allowing your team to work from anywhere.

Professional Communication

Instantly gain credibility with professional email using your own domain name. Enjoy robust spam filtering, alongside Microsoft Teams for video meetings and instant messaging.

No On-Site Servers Needed

Each user gets generous cloud storage via OneDrive and SharePoint. Updates, backups, and availability are handled automatically by Microsoft, keeping systems reliable with minimal effort.

Is Business Basic Right For You?

If your business relies heavily on cloud access and teamwork, Microsoft 365 Business Basic delivers excellent value and scalability. It is ideal for companies that:

  • Want professional email and collaboration tools.
  • Work remotely or across multiple locations.
  • Don’t need desktop-installed Office apps.
  • Want predictable monthly costs with no large upfront spend.

Why Choose a Managed Partner?

While Microsoft 365 Business Basic is powerful on its own, working with a managed Microsoft partner like Gander Web makes the experience far smoother.

We handle setup, email migration, user management, and ongoing support, so you don’t have to deal with technical headaches. If something breaks, you speak to a real person who knows your business, not a call centre. We ensure your environment stays secure and aligned with how your team actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in Microsoft 365 Business Basic?

Business Basic includes business email on your own domain, Microsoft Teams, 1TB of OneDrive storage and the web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

How is Basic different from Business Standard?

Basic gives you the online and mobile apps only. If your team needs the fully installed desktop versions of Office for offline work, Business Standard is the right choice.

Is Business Basic good value for small teams?

Yes. It's the most cost-effective way to get professional email, Teams and cloud storage on your own domain, which makes it ideal for start-ups and small teams working mostly in a browser.

Does it include Teams and OneDrive?

It does. Every user gets Microsoft Teams for chat and video meetings, plus 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage for files.

Can I upgrade to Standard later?

Easily. You can move users up to Business Standard or Premium at any time as your needs change: we'll handle the licence change for you.

Do I need any technical knowledge to use Business Basic?

No. It works in any web browser and on the mobile apps, and Gander Web handles the initial setup and domain configuration, so your team can start sending email and using Teams straight away.
