That's a rather open-ended question.
Most obviously, FreeBSD offers two benefits over the more typical choices
like Microsoft:
1. Stability
2. Price.
FreeBSd is free and it's much more stable.
The drawback is that it is missing software that most businesses want on the
desktop, so this could be an issue for desktop use. For server use, by
contrast, any software you would need is not only available, but it's also
free, which is a clear advantage.
However, other than very general statements like the above, it's hard to say
much about FreeBD without some idea of the context. Financial?
Megacorporation or small family business? Expert support or something the
secretary does in between typing up letters?
