Business is an entity or enterprise that provides goods and services in exchange for
some form of money or another. It can be a privately owned, non-profit organization or state-
owned business. These entities consider the three basic problems in economy in establishing
their business:
a.) What to produce?
b.) How to produce?
c.) For whom to produce?
Examples of service businesses are schools, repair shops, hair salons, banks,
accounting firms and law firms.

Manufacturing Business unlike a merchandising business, buys products with the
intention of using them as materials in making a new product. A manufacturing
business combines raw materials, labor, and factory overhead in its production
process. The manufactured goods will then be sold to customers.
Hybrid Business is a company that may be classified in more than one type
business. A restaurant, for example combines ingredients in making a fine meal
(manufacturing), sells a cold bottle of wine (merchandising), and fills customer orders
(service).
