Small businesses run on tight teams and tighter timelines—every hour and every decision counts. But when you’re juggling a patchwork of standalone apps and chatbots, you get more friction than flow. Data ends up scattered, security becomes an afterthought, and your people waste time switching between tools instead of serving customers. The bottom line: you don’t need one more point product—you need a solution that brings everything together so you can focus on growth, not gaps.
Microsoft is built to empower future-ready businesses. From world-class productivity tools that streamline work to secure, integrated AI and agents that drive better decisions and automate workflows, we help businesses stay connected and efficient. We simplify and protect your operations with robust security, reliable data management, and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system tailored for small and midsize businesses (SMBs). Microsoft delivers an end-to-end approach that enables SMBs to work smarter and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Enterprise-quality AI, SMB-friendly price: Microsoft Copilot Business is now available
Microsoft already has a great lineup of products for small and midsize businesses; it’s getting even better this week. We’re excited to announce the general availability of Microsoft 365 Copilot Business—a comprehensive, full-featured AI solution built for work at an SMB-friendly price point. For just USD21 per user per month, Copilot Business brings secure, enterprise-grade AI into the Microsoft 365 apps SMBs use every day: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
And now, for a limited time only (until March 31, 2026), you can unlock even better pricing when you purchase Copilot Business with Microsoft 365 Business plans, making it easier than ever to equip your team with the tools they need to work smarter and grow faster.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is AI built for work
Microsoft 365 Copilot isn’t just another AI tool—it’s purpose-built to support your business. Powered by Work IQ, the intelligence layer that enables Copilot to understand your business, Copilot learns how you work and who you work with, so it can anticipate your needs, automate routine tasks, and surface what matters most. That means less time spent on repetitive work and more time driving growth, serving customers, and planning for the future.
Integrated into the Microsoft 365 apps, Copilot delivers AI-powered assistance for tasks like summarizing emails, drafting documents, analyzing data, and capturing meeting notes—all without disrupting your workflow. It works seamlessly across Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint while honoring your organization’s existing security and compliance settings. Built on Microsoft’s trusted cloud, Copilot ensures your data stays protected and private, so you can make faster, smarter decisions and scale with confidence—without the security risks that come from stitching together multiple point solutions or consumer-grade products.
Copilot goes beyond chat. It also delivers AI agents—specialized digital assistants that can handle entire workflows, not just single tasks. Need to automate onboarding? Manage inventory? Improve customer resolution time? Agents can do that. They work behind the scenes to handle complexity, freeing you and your team to focus on what matters for your business. With Microsoft Copilot Studio, any organization can make custom agents specific to your business processes and needs, no coding required. And with a simple control panel to manage them, these agents put enterprise-grade automation within reach for SMBs.
Security built for SMBs: Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Purview
In today’s threat landscape, security can’t be an afterthought—especially when adopting AI. Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed to work within your organization’s existing security and compliance boundaries, so sensitive data isn’t overshared or exposed. Copilot respects permissions and policies set by Microsoft Purview, ensuring that only the right people see the right information.
Microsoft delivers advanced protection tailored for SMBs through solutions like Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Purview, now available in SKUs designed for smaller organizations. Microsoft Defender provides enterprise-grade protection against phishing and ransomware, with automated investigation and real-time defense—without the complexity of point solutions. Microsoft Purview helps businesses govern, protect, and manage sensitive data across cloud and on-premises environments, reducing risk and ensuring compliance.
Together with Copilot, these solutions provide a secure foundation for productivity and innovation—helping harness AI without compromising data security or compliance.
