If you run a one-person business using your personal Gmail address (ends in @gmail.com), you can sign up for a Google Workspace Business edition using that address. With a Gmail-based Business subscription, you can access productivity features and manage your account in the Google Admin console or Google Play, depending on how you signed up.
What features do I get?
With your Gmail address, you can sign up on the web for a Business Starter, Business Standard, or Business Plus subscription. If you use Gmail on Android, you might receive a notification allowing you to sign up for Business Starter from Gmail.
Each Business edition offers certain features. For details, go to Compare Google Workspace editions: Business .
To unlock the full feature set for any edition, you need to verify your domain. To learn more, go to Verify your domain to unlock features (for Gmail accounts) .
