The consumer VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) darling Skype dialed in to small-business and branch office needs today with a new offering, Skype for Business.

The move builds on Skype’s existing small business offerings with a dedicated Web site, skype.biz, and support, new hardware and new features to better manage groups of users and prepaid accounts.

Unlike with consumers, who use Skype mainly to make free calls to other Skype users, businesses are paying for the ability to call out to PSTN numbers from a personal computer. The cost is about $35 a year. In other words, the door is wide open for tight-budgeted small businesses, and Sklype is aiming straight at them.
