A business is an organization, regardless of its size, that primarily aims to generate profit for its owners and maximize their wealth, functioning as a separate legal entity from them. While the main objective is profit maximization, businesses also have secondary objectives that support this goal, such as enhancing market share or developing new products. Unlike non-profit organizations, which focus on providing goods and services for their beneficiaries, businesses prioritize financial success and sustainability to ensure long-term viability and stakeholder satisfaction.
