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. From Wikipedia under the

I am budgeting about 500-600 for the project and about 100 for the screen. I can afford a 2000 projector. A ViewSonic PJ506D SVGA (800x600) 4:3/16:9 2000 lumens business projector is going for 500 with a mail free screen and mount offer. An InFocus In72 WVGA (852x480) 900 lumens home theater projector is going for about the same refurbished with no extras. I have read that I really should get a home theater projector rather than a business projector like the 506D, but the lumens scares me. I am projecting on an 80"screen with blinds and curtains closed. no lights. still some ambient light. Which will be better. I am going to use it the a really nice DVD player, Wii and Home theater PC. No interest in HD DVDs for atleast 3-4 years… [cont.] Asked by bjmarchini - Thu Aug 23 18:02:38 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am confuse with your question. Are you saying you can afford a $2000 projector or can't afford? Try using a home theater projector if you can. The bussiness projectors are not meant for movies. They are meant for slide shows and a small movie clip. Now you can get a decent Epson projector that is around $3500 Canadian dollars with a $300 rebate right now. I believe the model is the Epson 1080. Epson makes a decent projector. Ofcourse you can opt to get the cheaper projector. I have personally seen the Epson 1080 and it does a great job on the big screen. There are also some decent screen around. I think you should provision more for your screen though. Try to think $1000 for a screen. They a decent Draper screen would… [cont.] Answered by flip_can - Thu Aug 23 20:27:58 2007 Can I start a home based business, not get a business license and not pay taxes? Q. I read that if you dont get a business license and you run an at home based business and your neighbors dont complain about your work, its unlikey the IRS will find out and make you pay a fee as well as put your business on hold until its done. Now, in the state of FL, if I chose to not get a license because the type of business (event planning) did not require one, would I still have to pay taxes? Asked by shimshim - Mon Nov 19 18:28:47 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Make note of where you read that. And do NOT read that garbage any more if you value your financial well being! Of course you have to pay taxes! And what gives you the idea that the IRS won't know about it? Eventually you'll have a business customer who will hand you a Form W-9 and ask for your taxpayer ID number before they pay you. Assuming that they pay you more than $600 (and possibly if it's less) the IRS will be notified of the payment. Or someone will get audited and will have claimed an expense deduction for the money that they paid you. The IRS auditor will then gather the details about YOU and make a note to follow the money trail and see if YOU are paying YOUR share. Either way, you're BUSTED! But let's just say that… [cont.] Answered by Bostonian In MO - Mon Nov 19 20:47:17 2007 I've been filing a business write-off on my personal taxes. How do I close out the business on my tax return?
Q. I am a writer who has filed business write-offs on my personal tax return for 5 years as per the law. I have not made profits in those years. I have been advised by my accountant that tax regulations do not favor my continuing to file business write-off because I have not made a profit so should close out the writing business. How do I go about filing my taxes now? Do I just ignore the past years write offs as thought they were never deductions? Asked by sullivan_vl - Sat Apr 7 08:17:06 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. As the other poster mentioned, if you have any income from writing, it will need to be reported, regardless of your write offs. Even if you just report the writing income this year without deducting any related expenses, there's a fairly good chance that you're going to be audited for one of the prior years. You're going to need to prove that you had profit motive for operating this business. Truthfully, I think you're going to have a really hard time proving that your writing was a real business and not a hobby, but that discussion is best left to you and your accountant.
