How to set up Microsoft 365 for a small business in Canada: plans and pricing, email migration, SharePoint vs OneDrive, and Microsoft 365 vs Google Workspace.
Most small businesses are well served by Microsoft 365 Business Standard (email, Office apps, Teams, 1 TB storage). Choose Business Premium if you need advanced security and device management — it includes the tools that satisfy much of a security checklist.
Both are excellent. Pick Microsoft 365 if you rely on desktop Office files and Windows devices; pick Google Workspace if your team lives in the browser and values simplicity. Migration cost and staff habits usually decide it.
