As others have said, GMRS is limited to 50W for large bases/repeaters,
also 35W for mobiles, and 5 or 6(?) for portables.
Another limit is unless you have one of the old grandfathered business
licenses from back in the 80's or before, business use of GMRS is
ILLEGAL! And a business CANNOT now get a GMRS license.
GMRS is for individuals for the purpose of conducting FAMILY business,
ie, picking up kids, going to the store (using specific item names or
specific store names, or how much you paid), ordering a pizza (phone
patch is illegal!), what bills you got in the mail, and other similar
things that would be illegal on amateur bands. Ham and GMRS should
complement each other, as most things that are illegal on GMRS are legal
on ham, like phone patch, and casual conversations.
