    Office365 Business Family of plans are a special discounted plan for smaller companies, and thus are limited up to max 300 users per SKU.

    For the additional users, you can subscribe to the enteprise plans.

    Assuming you are using Office365 Business -> meaning MS-Office on a subscription basis...

    The similar plan that does not have a 300 user restriction is Office365 Pro Plus. 

    So assuming you have 305 staff now, you can mix and match to have -

    300 Office365 Business

    5 Office365 Pro Plus (yes it cost more, but its just 5 users anyway)

    Other "matching" plans are -

    Office365 Business Essentials -> Office365 E1

    Office365 Business Premium -> Office365 E3

    If you can clarify what exact plans you have, perhaps there may be other ways to mix and match.

    Cheers

    Hi Vichet,

    Thank you for posting. As you already know Office 365 Business Essentials/Premium supports a maximum of 300 users. Currently, it’s not feasible to increase the limit. However, if you have more than 300 users can combine Enterprise and Business plans or you can move from Office 365 Business Essentials/Premium to Office 365 Enterprise E3/E5 (unlimited number of users). See Switch to a different Office 365 plan or subscription.

    For your reference: Office 365 service families and plans

    Your time and understanding will be highly appreciated.

    Best regards,

    Shyamal
