Business Standard is available under two sign-up options. Domain Account sign up is best for businesses that have a domain (for example, @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.
