Microsoft 365 Copilot Business

Microsoft 365 Copilot Business is the AI assistant for Microsoft 365, packaged for organisations with fewer than 300 users. It delivers the same AI features as the Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription at a licence tier aimed at smaller businesses. Two conditions govern it and neither is optional. It requires an existing Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard or Business Premium licence for the same user, and it is capped at 300 users. It is a separate product from Microsoft 365 Copilot, the enterprise subscription, which carries no such cap and attaches to the enterprise plans instead.

What it is

Microsoft 365 Copilot Business is an AI assistant that works inside the Microsoft 365 applications an organisation already uses. Microsoft introduced it for small and medium businesses with fewer than 300 users, offering the same AI capability as the Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

Who it is for

Organisations already running Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard or Business Premium that want AI assistance inside those applications, and that are below the 300 user ceiling.

Key capabilities

  • AI assistance inside the Microsoft 365 applications
  • Drafting and rewriting written content
  • Summarising documents, mail and meetings
  • The same AI feature set as the Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription

Requirements

This licence is an add-on and does not stand on its own. Each user assigned Copilot Business must also hold a Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard or Business Premium licence. The product is capped at 300 users.

Not the same product as Microsoft 365 Copilot

The catalogue carries both Microsoft 365 Copilot Business and Microsoft 365 Copilot, and they are different subscriptions. Copilot Business is the small and medium business licence, with the 300 user cap and the Business plan prerequisite. Microsoft 365 Copilot is the enterprise subscription and carries neither.

FAQ
Can Copilot Business be bought on its own?

No. Each user assigned it must also hold a Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard or Business Premium licence. It is an add-on to those plans.

How many users does it cover?

Up to 300. Organisations above that ceiling use Microsoft 365 Copilot, the enterprise subscription, which has no such cap.

What is the difference from Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Copilot Business is the licence for organisations under 300 users and requires a Microsoft 365 Business plan. Microsoft 365 Copilot is the enterprise subscription with no user cap. Microsoft states that Copilot Business delivers the same AI features.

Does it work with Microsoft 365 Business Basic?

Yes. Business Basic, Business Standard and Business Premium all qualify as the base licence.

What can it actually do in the applications?

It assists with drafting and rewriting content, and with summarising documents, mail and meetings, inside the Microsoft 365 applications rather than as a separate tool.
