Business

Business refers to the activity of producing, buying, selling, or providing goods or services in exchange for payment. It encompasses various forms of organisations such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and cooperatives. Businesses operate in a range of sectors, including retail, manufacturing, services, and technology, and can vary in size from small family-run enterprises to large multinational corporations. The primary aim of a business is to generate profit for its owners or shareholders, although some may also have social, charitable, or environmental objectives. Business activities involve strategic planning, management, marketing, finance, and operations, all aimed at meeting customer needs and adapting to market conditions. In the broader sense, the term “business” can also refer to the overall economic environment in which these activities take place, including trade practices, regulations, and the dynamics of supply and demand.
