Office Business or Home?

Ri na hEireann

I'm venturing into the world of self-employment. I have been partially self-employed, partially PAYE worker over the past year.

The nature of the work I do requires me to be onsite most of the time and a lot and all my clients have Office 365, which I can use when onsite but I need to update the version on my own laptop to work on-the-go more. I only have Office 2003 at the moment but now that I will be working more on it I had a look at the various options from MS and it all seems a lot more convoluted than it used to be when I last bought a copy.

Long story short, all I will really be using is word, excel and powerpoint - should I go for one of the 365 plans or one of the home suites, or does it even matter?

If you are using Office for commercial use such as business, I am fairly certain it is required to purchase the Business package. The Home packages are cheaper as they are licensed subject to non-commercial use

Office 365 has benefits outside of the office applications you are familiar with. Mostly this is online storage, and a lot of it. 10TB I believe.
