New stateFrom July 2026, Microsoft lists Business Basic + Copilot Business at USD 21 per user per month after a 25% promotion and standalone Copilot Business at USD 18 per user per month after a 15% promotion; both run through 31 December 2026 for 1–300 users on annual subscription with annual billing.

Who is affected

CSP partners selling Microsoft 365 Business to SMB customers, and customers considering the 1–300-user Business Basic + Copilot Business or standalone Copilot Business promotional offers.

Action required

Use the current promotional offer and SKU terms when quoting SMB Copilot deals, and recheck Partner Center pricing before purchase because published USD references do not establish identical local-currency or negotiated pricing.

Evidence boundary

published USD references do not establish identical local-currency, tax, channel-discount or negotiated pricing. This event is distinct from the permanent Business Standard/Premium with Copilot SKUs found in Lane 1.
