From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A business (company, enterprise or 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 Why is big business considered evil by the left but big government is considered wonderful? Q. Big business produces a product, creates job and creates wealth. Big government creates large inefficient agencies, gobbles up wealth, creates waste and is corrupt. Big business needs to be watched and when found corrupt the corrupt need to go to jail. Small business is just as corrupt as big business. It just doesn't make the national news. So why is big business demonized by the left but big government loved? Our founding fathers didn't trust government at all so why does the left love it? Asked by Lonesome Polecat - Fri Mar 12 10:08:38 2010 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Answered by Will work for Cash - Fri Mar 12 10:11:20 2010 What is the best way to transfer my small business to my son? Q. I want to give my son my business without charging him any upfront money. I would like to pull a small income from the business each month as a retirement. I dont want a share in the business just a guaranteed payment each month. I have been in business since 1983 and have annual average revenue of $225,000. My son has been working with me now for the past 8 years and has shown great leadership skills. I am concerned about things like tax ramifications of not handling this properly. Our business isnt incorporated instead it is a sole proprietorship. Would it be better to incorporate and retain a share of the business while giving my son the majority? Also I have a house for sale currently but it is pre foreslosure.

If you own a small business, then you should at some point have had to consult with a CPA and a small business attorney...this should be best handled by your attorney. If you don't have one, try calling around to see if you can get one recommended to you. Someone who handles real estate or retirement issues might be able to help as well. As with anything, if the company doesn't make any money, your 'guaranteed monthly retirement' won't always be there, so some of this rests on the fact that you believe the business will be successful enough under his command. There are never any guarantees... Answered by reddevilbloodymary - Thu Jul 19 21:32:49 2007 How can I submit my business to google maps when my business is a service for people in their homes?
Q. Usually when I search for a type of business google has many names and addresses of the businesses immediately and it's included on google maps. But if my business consists of services primarily provided in a customer's home (and I don't have an office yet) can it still be listed? Without an address? Asked by Brittany - Tue Jun 8 18:50:54 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. There's a new feature in Google Places for businesses that allows you to list a "service area." When you do this you can also exclude your address. Not showing your address seems to lead to lower rankings, so I would definitely add it if you get an office sometime down the line, but this will at least get you listed for now.
