Business
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A business is a method of organizing work, where one or more people offer to sell goods or services to other people, for more money than it costs them to produce or provide it. The difference provides money to pay the owner and his workers, and probably maintain a work space and special equipment. The number of people who work for a business can be as low as one, such as a barber shop in a small community, or as many as hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, such as a company that makes automobiles.
Some businesses do not need a fixed location, such as an office or a store. A carpenter or electrician who works for himself usually brings everything they need for work in their truck, and fishermen who stay out at sea work out of their boats.
Business, without an article, generally refers to the current state of a business or various businesses: "Business is good."
