You don't have to pick one plan for everyone. Plans can be mixed, so the people who handle client data can have Business Premium while others stay on Business Basic.

Microsoft also sells Business Standard and Business Premium with Copilot included. Ask us on the call if you're considering it.

Buy Microsoft 365 through Solvida. Managed Licensing is included.

Every quarter we review your licences and adjust them as people join and leave. We also keep watch on the accounts themselves, so someone who has left isn't still signed in. While your licences are billed through us, that costs nothing extra.
