Yes, she does want Outlook, and would also like Teams, but that may be a bit of a stretch, since it is only available with certain Enterprise level 365 subscriptions, as far as I can tell.If internet access is always available the online version of MS Teams is free, and the subscription online version of Office 365(Now called MS 365 Business Basic) would be the best choice of the paid versions and includes the online version of MS Teams for about $7/mnth.
The Standard version with desktop programs becomes $17/mnth, it also includes MS Teams.
Otherwise I concur with earlier suggestion, if it's just for personal use then LibreOffice is free. We run both 365 Standard and LibreOffice for our users.
A big plus of the subscriptions is the OneDrive cloud storage allocation included is 1TB which is reasonable value on it's own for the Business Basic package. It is the ability to store, access and securely share files in the cloud that changes the utility of the software and all devices, not just the laptop. If your wife wants to operate as a sole trader I can't emphasise the benefits of this enough. Also nothing stops you keeping local backups on a USB pocket drive without consuming drive space on any smaller devices like phones or tablets.
