    There's no difference.

    If it's just basic internet access required, then there's not a lot of difference in the product, but it will likely be against the T+Cs of most providers to use a residential service in a business premises.

    There won't be any difference in the product - broadband is broadband just like gas is gas when you switch provider - however you would be front of the queue priority-wise if something went wrong with business broadband than you would be with domestic. But on the other hand, business broadband can and does cost more than domestic.
