I purchased Office 365 business basic for my small business- I am the owner- I am unable to edit Word docs on my mac book

If you are unable to edit Word documents on your MacBook and they are showing as view-only, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Ensure User Licenses are Assigned: Make sure that your Microsoft 365 business account has the appropriate licenses assigned. You can check this in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center under Users > Active users. If the license is already assigned, try unchecking it, saving changes, and then checking it again.
2. Sign Out and Sign Back In: Open an Office app like Word, select your name or profile picture at the top, and sign out. Then sign back in using your Work or School account, not a personal Microsoft account. After signing back in, try activating Microsoft 365 again.
3. Use the Mac License Removal Tool: If the above steps do not work, you can use the Mac License removal tool to remove any existing license files. Instructions can be found in the Microsoft support documentation.
4. Uninstall and Reinstall Office for Mac: If the issue persists, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling Office for Mac. Instructions for this can also be found in the Microsoft support documentation.

These steps should help resolve the issue and allow you to edit your Word documents.
