Announced in November in beta, Apple Business Essentials is now available to all small businesses in the United States.
“Apple has a deep and decades-long commitment to helping small businesses thrive,” Apple vice president Susan Prescott says. “From dedicated business teams in our stores to the App Store Small Business Program, our goal is to help each company grow, compete, and succeed. We look forward to bringing Apple Business Essentials to even more small businesses to simplify device management, storage, support, and repairs. Using this new service leads to invaluable time savings for customers—including those without dedicated IT staff—that they can invest back into their business.”
