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.

Every business on the planet would benefit from an "Internet" presence, because of the potential mass exposure. The internet allows a business a space to educate its ideal consumer about the companies product and service. The whole point of being in business is to make and keep customers...so being exposed to as many potential customers as possible, is a massive advantage upgrade. E-Commerce...I think this is where you are trying to identify a company which would not benefit from "Purchase" transactions over the internet...and again...as I sit here I am having difficulty thinking how this would not benefit any company. If something comes to mind I will… [cont.] Answered by Doran P - Tue Feb 24 20:57:17 2009 What kind of business should I start in Bangladesh? Q. I have US $ 1000.

If it feels like too much, it probably is and if you are in the black, you can definitely outsource now. If you are concerned about handling the legal aspects, book keeping, etc. of a new hire, you can go through a temp. agency first. That way, you pay the agency and they handle payroll, etc. for their employee. The agency can coach you through it. You can always keep the person on, too, if it works out.
