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

Congratulations on your decision to start up a new small business! First and foremost, I'd say to pick a business you are interested in so that you will enjoy your time building and running it. No specific classes are required (although a knowledge of accounting, marketing, and the internet would help). Depending upon the type of business you chose to start up, there are small business grants available, and of course financial institutions, and even friends and family. Regarding your question on hepful start-up sites, I've placed a link to the Microsoft Small Business Center.

Q. I am a small business owner and have been developing my company for the past year. Because I left my previous job to start this business I do not have a current income and because my company only recently officially "opened for business" we do not have a profit line. Do I need to file? What about the business expenses that I incur? Asked by greg b - Mon Mar 5 18:09:43 2007 - - 4 Answers - 2 Comments A. Definitely keep track of your expenses. Most start-up expenses should be capitalized until operations begin. This means that you cannot deduct certain expenses until the date the business started, even if you paid them last year. Some expenses should be amortized over a period of time. Business start-up costs are the expenses you incur before you actually begin business operations. Your business start-up costs will depend on the type of business you are starting. They may include costs for advertising, travel, surveys, and training. These costs are generally capital expenses. You usually recover costs for a particular asset (such as machinery or office equipment) through depreciation (discussed next). You can elect to deduct up to… [cont.] Answered by tma - Tue Mar 6 02:55:56 2007 How big should a business be before the owner finally delegates responsibilities?

Asked by Sociopath - Mon Jun 8 14:42:42 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It sounds like you are at that point. 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.
