Business & Enterprise

How companies are built, funded and run.

Business vocabulary is used constantly in public life and defined almost nowhere, which leaves a lot of people nodding along to terms they could not explain. This category covers the structures, how ownership and shares work, what a board actually does, the funding routes from bootstrapping to public listing, and the operational ideas such as supply chains and margins. It is descriptive rather than promotional, with no advice on what anyone should invest in or start. The explanations translate each term into plain language and note where usage is looser than it sounds.
