Getting Started with Office 365 For Business Plans
The initial process for purchasing a For Business plan is very similar to the pro- cess for purchasing a For Home plan. However, the similarities end there; many of the For Business plans contain advanced software that you will need to plan for and administer. This is such software as SharePoint, Exchange, and Teams.

Purchasing an initial Office 365 For Business plan is just the beginning. Because you’re managing a business, you will need to add users, add licensing, configure the services you’re planning to use, migrate data, add your organization’s domain, build out your intranet portal, train people, and generally get everything set up and ready to go. You do all of this from your main Office 365 portal at https:// portal.office.com.
