business
Business is the activity of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services). Simply put, it is "any activity or enterprise entered into for profit."Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business. If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner's personal possessions. A business structure does not allow for corporate tax rates. The proprietor is personally taxed on all income from the business.
The term is also often used colloquially (but not by lawyers or by public officials) to refer to a company. A company, on the other hand, is a separate legal entity and provides for limited liability, as well as corporate tax rates. A company structure is more complicated and expensive to set up, but offers more protection and benefits for the owner.

As I've been off this week I watched a lengthy meeting with Mike Ashley, a controversial figure I know but he's certainly a powerful man especially where the high street is concerned. Anyway amongst other things the core of his proposal is to introduce an additional 20% tax to be paid by...

A few years ago I did some business with Porcelanosa and would send customers in to see a specific sales member. I would agree that the customer got a 15-20% discount using my account. I stopped sending people there as I did fit only work for a company for a while.
Recently, I re-opened my...
I'd like to try and encourage members to use their business name as their forum username where possible. It isn't a requirement so don't worry about it if your nickname is your preference.
