A business (also called firm or
enterprise) is a legally recognized organizational entity designed to provide
goods and/or services to consumers or corporate entities such as governments,
charities or other businesses. Businesses are predominant in capitalist
economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit to increase the
wealth of owners. 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. Socialistic systems involve either government,
public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses.
