What is a business?
Business can be
defined as a commercial activity which adds value to the society and is
exchanged either in goods and or services to make sustainable profit.
A business (also known as an enterprise, a company, or a firm) is an organizational entity and legal entity made up of an association of people, be they natural, legal, or a mixture of both who share a common purpose and unite in order to focus their various talents and organize their collectively available skills or resources to achieve specific declared goals and are involved in the provision of goods and services to consumers.
A business can also be described as an organisation that provides goods and services for human needs.
Characteristics of a business
1. VALUE:
You must be adding value or solving a
problem. As a startup
business, if you
will not last but if you
focus on the
value you want to add to the society ,
your business will last.
Even if you are doing the same kind of business with a lot of entrepreneurs, try to be distinct. Even if it is only having integrity that will make you stand out from the crowd, be distinct. Look for the value in a business before you invest in it.
Carry out proper feasibility studies before you start that business. At a later date, I will write about feasibility studies and how to write yours.
2. PROFIT:
You must be making some form of
income. Even if you if you make losses
at the beginning or during your
business, you must have it at the back
of your mind that you are in business
to make profit, else your business has
to be a NGO.

3. SUSTAINABILTY:
One breakthrough is not a business.
Establish a business that can run
without your presence. The ability to
repeat a profitable process on a regular
basis is what makes a business
different from a runs man or a chronic
hustler.
