Business Standard is available under two sign up options. Domain Account Sign Up is best for businesses that have a domain (e.g. @mybakery.com) and need Microsoft to act as processor for their data. Simplified Sign Up allows businesses to sign up without a domain and is best for businesses that are comfortable with Microsoft acting as controller for their data.
