# Windows Store for Business overview
# Windows Store for Business and Windows Store for Education overview
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
- Windows 10 Mobile
With Windows Store for Business, organizations can make volume purchases of Windows apps. The Store for Business provides app purchases based on organizational identity, flexible distribution options, and the ability to reclaim or re-use licenses. Organizations can also use the Store for Business to create a private store for their employees that includes apps from the Store, as well private Line-of-Business (LOB) apps.
Designed for organizations, Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education gives IT decision makers and administrators in businesses or schools a flexible way to find, acquire, manage, and distribute free and paid apps in select markets to Windows 10 devices in volume. IT administrators can manage Windows Store apps and private line-of-business apps in one inventory, plus assign and re-use licenses as needed. You can choose the best distribution method for your organization: directly assign apps to individuals and teams, publish apps to private pages in Windows Store, or connect with management solutions for more options.

## <a href="" id="isv-wsfb"></a>ISVs and the Store for Business
Developers in your organization, or ISVs can create content specific to your organization. In the Store for Business, we call these line-of-business (LOB) apps, and the devs that create them are LOB publishers. The process looks like this:
- Admin invites devs to be LOB publishers for your organization. These devs can be internal devs, or external ISVs.
- LOB publishers accept the invitation, develop apps, and submits the app to the Windows Dev Center. LOB publishers use Enterprise associations when submitting the app to make the app exclusive to your organization.
- Admin adds the app to Store for Business inventory.
- Admin invites devs to be LOB publishers for your organization. These devs can be internal devs, or external ISVs.
- LOB publishers accept the invitation, develop apps, and submits the app to the Windows Dev Center. LOB publishers use Enterprise associations when submitting the app to make the app exclusive to your organization.
- Admin adds the app to Store for Business inventory.
Once the app is in inventory, admins can choose how to distribute the app. ISVs creating apps through the dev center can make their apps available in the Store for Business. ISVs can opt-in their apps to make them available for offline licensing. Apps purchased in the Store for Business will work only on Windows 10.
