ESL Conversation Questions about Business

What is business?

A business is an organization or enterprising entity engaged in commercial, industrial, or professional activities. Businesses can be either for-profit or non-profit entities.

The phrase "business" can apply to a single company or a market sector as a whole, such as the "music business." Compound versions like "agribusiness" are subsets of the term's larger definition, which covers all operations by providers of products and services.

Businesses predominate in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and run to make a profit for their owners and to grow the economy.
