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 I work for a 501C business,which is closing and liquidating. Can I start my own separate taxable business? Q. I have worked for the 501C business for 10 yrs total, 3 in this specific business area. They no longer wish to carry this branch of their association. When they close, I will be fired. Can I start up my own for profit business, with the same business description? Asked by izzy - Fri Sep 29 12:12:56 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You may have some problems if you use similar names or other things that may be the intellectual or business property of the 501C (3). You should get a written agreement with the Association approving your enterprise. If you plan on using the same facilities as the non-profit there could be some zoning issues that would require a new approval by the local planning department. After that you may organize in the same manner as any business. Answered by unknown - Fri Sep 29 12:41:32 2006 What is a good business to purchase for a first time business owner? Q. I have my business degree, and money for investing. I am interested in buying a business that doesn't require my presence and that is profitable. What is a good type of business to purchase in the next year in South Florida? Asked by Danka - Tue Jan 13 16:43:17 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You seem to an idea that the owner does nothing and racks in the big bucks. It is true that business owners only have to work half days and they get to pick which 12 hours they work - but I can tell you, your profits will walk out the door unless you participate and understand the business. If a business ran it's self there would be no reason to sell it - the owner would just keep receiving the profits. So look for a business you understand - and one you could actually work at. Otherwise - become a lender - the interest rate is higher but so are the risks. Buy a rental - but be ready for repairs at all hours.

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...
