Creating an Intranet with SharePoint with employees who don't have or need Office 365

Question

Hello,

I wish to create an Intranet for my company, however, many of our employees do not have an Office 365 account as they are tradespersons that don't require an account.

How can I create a site and how much would it cost?

Hi @COVID CZAR OF HR

These users do not necessarily need an office 365 account.

You can enable anonymous access for them and invite external users to visit your site, but they need a Microsoft account. When you share your site with external users, they will receive an email prompting to log in with a Microsoft account or a work or school account in Azure AD from another organization.
