From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A business (also known as a company, enterprise, and firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods or services, or both, to consumers, businesses and governmental entities. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies. Most businesses are privately owned. A business is typically formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned. The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Is a Business Statistics course the same as a Regular Statistics course? Q. Hi. Is a business statistics course considered equivalent as a regular statistics course in college? In other words, if a student wants to earn a bachelor's degree in business and the school that he is enrolled in requires him to take a business statistics course, would he meet that requirement if he took a regular math statistics course and not a business statistics course? Have a nice day. Asked by recalcitrant99 - Thu Nov 20 22:46:34 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Depending on the course, statistics (as offered by the math or statistics department) will be purely procedural. They will go into great detail about WHY you perform a procedure a certain way and, generally, will discuss theorums and formulas in detail, sometimes even proving them. There will be little or no practical application and no discussion of experimental methodolgy. On the other hand, in a business stats course the time not wasted on in-depth detail about statistical procedures will be spent on methodology and application. Although it will greatly depend on your college and department, some departments will waive a requirement if you have fulfilled a similar one. Usually, they will only make this exception with transferred… [cont.] Answered by Henry B. - Fri Nov 21 16:16:28 2008 Can I start a home based business, not get a business license and not pay taxes? Q. I read that if you dont get a business license and you run an at home based business and your neighbors dont complain about your work, its unlikey the IRS will find out and make you pay a fee as well as put your business on hold until its done. Now, in the state of FL, if I chose to not get a license because the type of business (event planning) did not require one, would I still have to pay taxes? Asked by shimshim - Mon Nov 19 18:28:47 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Make note of where you read that. And do NOT read that garbage any more if you value your financial well being! Of course you have to pay taxes! And what gives you the idea that the IRS won't know about it? Eventually you'll have a business customer who will hand you a Form W-9 and ask for your taxpayer ID number before they pay you. Assuming that they pay you more than $600 (and possibly if it's less) the IRS will be notified of the payment. Or someone will get audited and will have claimed an expense deduction for the money that they paid you. The IRS auditor will then gather the details about YOU and make a note to follow the money trail and see if YOU are paying YOUR share. Either way, you're BUSTED! But let's just say that… [cont.] Answered by Bostonian In MO - Mon Nov 19 20:47:17 2007 What's a good business that I can do working from home? Any ideas on starting a business?
Q. My husband is stuck in a terrible job (like half the country!) and he's always wanted to own his own business, but he's not sure of what he wants to do... I was wondering if anyone has ever had their own business, and if so, what do you do? Also, has anyone been successful w/ a business from home? Thanks! Asked by lucy lu and baby Chloe! - Sat Sep 27 14:36:13 2008 - - 8 Answers - 1 Comments A. Dear Lucy, My cousin told me about an internet shopping portal and at first I thought I will never join this kind of things but after someone i know actually had his firs direct deposit, i gave it a second thought. Shop To Earn is the fastest growing sales portal on the internet, and a great opportunity for those who want to receive some cash back from online purchases and for referrals too. With an affiliate marketing program with over 500 prestigious companies, you can purchase the things you usually do online such as air tickets, hotels, clothing, entertainment, computers and so much more, but now you have the opportunity to receive points and cash back for all the transactions that you and anyone in your network complete.

From Google Blog Search: "business" Quotations about Business. In use the word may refer to many differing activities, such as the activity of buying or selling in trade, a commercial firm or enterprise, one’s personal affairs or concerns, one’s regular occupation, employment, or profession, something acquiring attention, or a situation, matter or happening. Business is the "art" of making money by selling things or services people want for more than their cost. - Patrick Dixon Sourced
