Hi Priya Patel,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

As a member of the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, you are eligible for a one-year subscription to Microsoft 365 Business Premium for up to 50 users. This benefit is valid for 12 months from the date you activate it. A credit card is required for identity verification and to ensure there are no service interruptions once the benefit period ends.

After the initial 12 months, you will not be automatically charged. However, it is important to confirm your billing information is up to date to avoid any disruptions to your service. The subscription includes licenses for Microsoft 365 Business Premium, supporting up to 50 users.

For reference, Microsoft 365
