I'm pretty sure that the Hub One PSU will work but just check the rating label on the body. The Smarthub is 12V, 1500 mA (1.5A).
The model number will tell you if it's a Business model, mine's 088315. Also when you log in the page header reads BT Business Smart Hub Manager.

I’m buying a new hub. Do I still need to perform a factory reset, to get it connected to PlusNet?

Setting it up instructions are here: https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Using-the-BT-Smarthub-6-on-a-Plusnet-Account/m-p/1587673#M85...
If it's new you probably don't need to do the factory reset bit. The key thing to note is NOT to plug the DSL cable in until instructed to do so, it cannot be configured to work on Plusnet if this is plugged in earlier. There has also been some debate as to whether you can have special characters in your Plusnet account password as allegedly Smarthub firmware will not accept them. I have read that this has now been rectified in the Smarthub firmware but it's probably best not to use any.

Probably not an issue with a new hub, but if you buy a used one you might have a few weeks( months) trouble with Google Maps.
I bought a second hand hub5 a couple of years ago and for several weeks my mobile phone was convinced was in Exeter (where the hub had come from) whenever it was at home.
Seems that Google associate the MAC address of the WiFi with the location of the router (using phone GPS data) to do so, and the phones seem to rely on that more than they do GPS when indoors.
