Business news is the part of journalism that tracks, records, analyzes and interprets the commercial activities and changes that take place in societies. Its topics widely cover the entire purview of all commercial activities pertaining to the economy. Business news is a significant source of information for the global financial markets and the wider society.

Businesses are organisations that exchange products or services in return for money on a regular basis. They aim to earn profit from their dealings while also achieving other goals such as increasing productivity or improving infrastructure. They are usually privately owned although large, profitable ones may be listed on the stock market and open to the public.

The most important element of business is consistency in transactions. A single transaction will not count as business unless it happens on a regular basis. Profit is the ultimate goal of any business. Profit can be earned through a variety of ways such as increasing sales, cutting costs and selling assets. Profits can be invested in a new venture or reinvested into the company to increase its value. The term business can be used in singular or plural form and is often abbreviated as “busi”.
