Hello there!

Greetings!

Business is nothing but an organization or enterprising entity which is engaged in commercial, industrial, or professional activities, business also refers to the organized efforts and activities of individuals to produce and sell goods and services for profit.The word business has been derived from the word busy, and means doing things.It works on regular basis. Business objectives are something which a business organisation wants to achieve or what it wants to accomplish over a specified period of time. These may be to earn profit for its growth and development, to provide quality goods to its customers, to protect the environment, etc business functions are the activities carried out by an enterprise; they can be divided into core functions and support functions . Core business functions are activities of an enterprise yielding income: the production of final goods or services intended for the market or for third parties.
