From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A business (also called a company, enterprise or firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. 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 enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned. The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings From Wikipedia under the

I need to know if I can deduct the mortage payment on a business. Our business mortage is a commercial loan and only the business is on it. Or, is only the interest on the business deductable. If so, would it be in our best interest for the business to rent from us this year? Asked by tru_belle - Thu Feb 7 17:49:43 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The business can only deduct interest expense. If you own the property personally, and the loan is in your personal name (OK if business is a co-borrower), then the business could deduct the entire payment as rent expense. However, you'd then have a separate schedule on your tax return for this commercial real estate. You'd show the rent payment as income, and then deduct the interest expense there. If the business is an S-Corp then shouldn't be much of a difference either way. . . If you're a business owner with commercial real estate, you really should have a CPA (or experienced tax accountant) prepare your taxes. . . . Oh, you can't deduct the entire loan payment, as principal paid is a repayment of money lent to you!

Q. I am a small business owner and have been developing my company for the past year. Because I left my previous job to start this business I do not have a current income and because my company only recently officially "opened for business" we do not have a profit line. Do I need to file? What about the business expenses that I incur? Asked by greg b - Mon Mar 5 18:09:43 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. Definitely keep track of your expenses. Most start-up expenses should be capitalized until operations begin. This means that you cannot deduct certain expenses until the date the business started, even if you paid them last year. Some expenses should be amortized over a period of time. Business start-up costs are the expenses you incur before you actually begin business operations. Your business start-up costs will depend on the type of business you are starting. They may include costs for advertising, travel, surveys, and training. These costs are generally capital expenses. You usually recover costs for a particular asset (such as machinery or office equipment) through depreciation (discussed next).
