A business (also called a firm or an enterprise) 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 businesses and state-owned enterprises. Socialist systems involve either government agencies, public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses.

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.

Business Studies, the study of the management of individuals to maintain collective productivity to accomplish particular creative and productive goals (usually to generate profit), is taught as an academic subject in many schools.

business projector versus a home theater projector? Is there that much of a difference in black levels?
Q. I am budgeting about 500-600 for the project and about 100 for the screen. I can afford a 2000 projector. A ViewSonic PJ506D SVGA (800x600) 4:3/16:9 2000 lumens business projector is going for 500 with a mail free screen and mount offer. An InFocus In72 WVGA (852x480) 900 lumens home theater projector is going for about the same refurbished with no extras. I have read that I really should get a home theater projector rather than a business projector like the 506D, but the lumens scares me. I am projecting on an 80"screen with blinds and curtains closed. no lights. still some ambient light. Which will be better. I am going to use it the a really nice DVD player, Wii and Home theater PC. No interest in HD DVDs for atleast 3-4 years… [cont.]

A. I am confuse with your question. Are you saying you can afford a $2000 projector or can't afford? Try using a home theater projector if you can. The bussiness projectors are not meant for movies. They are meant for slide shows and a small movie clip. Now you can get a decent Epson projector that is around $3500 Canadian dollars with a $300 rebate right now. I believe the model is the Epson 1080. Epson makes a decent projector. Ofcourse you can opt to get the cheaper projector. I have personally seen the Epson 1080 and it does a great job on the big screen. There are also some decent screen around. I think you should provision more for your screen though. Try to think $1000 for a screen. They a decent Draper screen would… [cont.]

Do you need a business license if you have a business degree?
Q. I have created a business but want to be sure all of my t's are crossed and all of my i's are dotted. I have a business degree, I want to be sure I do not have to back it up with a business license? Some people have advised me to get one just to be on the safe side.

A. Most states require you to have a business license, because most insurance companies require it. And usually if your in business you have to have insurance. ... its the law, in most states. So if I were you I'd go to your local "Better Business Bureau" in your town, and ask !!! It's always better to have your eggs all in one basket. Do your skilled homework. You do remember homework .. right?? Good Luck.
