From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A business (also called a company, enterprise or firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and 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

Q. If a small business hires either independent contractors or another business to perform work for them, what steps should that business take to make sure that the completed product is legally owned by the business and not the entities or individual employed to create that product? Pointing me to resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Asked by rlc_60504 - Sun Jan 10 11:13:07 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You definitely need an intellectual property agreement before the work commences. My understanding is that, in the absence of this, the contractor would own the rights to the work regardless of your payment for the work. Whether or not that is true, it makes sense to have one to remove all doubt. Search using terms like "contract programmer intellectual property agreement" (even if the work/product you are talking about is not computer code, because this industry uses them a lot).

I don't want to spend extra money on business insurance because I have an inactive self-employed business and I don't go to see clients often. What happens if I had a car accident on my way to see a friend? OR to see a cleint? Does it make a difference when I make a claim? What about % of my business use of car and personal use of car? Is it a major factor for the insurance company to define if it is business use or not. What about the nature of business? I am looking for some professional advices. Thank you! Asked by woowoototo - Sat Apr 28 23:53:59 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you didn't have business coverage and the insurance company could prove that you were using the car in any business pursuit they could deny any claim that you might file. That could be hard for them to prove, though. Most companies don't worry about percentage of business or personal use, if you go see one client in a year you need business insurance. If you have business insurance you can still use the car for personal use as much as you want.
