For a limited time, Microsoft is offering a free six-month for Microsoft 365 Business Basic plan

In response to the increased need for employees to work from home (WFH) in response to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, Microsoft offers small businesses six free months of Microsoft 365 Business Basic, allowing them to cope with the increasing need to communicate virtually with their customers. However, the offer is only valid for new subscriptions. Microsoft announced the limited-time offer on its Community website
