What is the difference between trading and business?

[nimzy]

Well to me trading and business are the same in concept even thought they are two different words but meaning the same thing. trading involves transactions so also business deals with transactions.

 

[Heatman]

Well, before the advent of online trading on forex and cryptocurrency, trading is simply considered as business as well. But now, they are both different things.

 

[nimzy]

There is no difference between this two word they are of the same meaning and purpose the difference is the word and spelling because the component that constitutes the trading is the same that constitutes the business so they are the same without difference.

 

[Tislad]

In other words, business is the entire enterprise of making, selling, and controlling the production of goods, while trade, a narrower activity, involves only the buying and selling of goods. Trade is a part of business, but business is not the same as trade. ... Trade usually refers to imports and exports.

Trading in a short term is involving yourself just to make money where strict rules and regulations isn't there..but business is something you don't mess with.

 

[Maayong]

The key difference between trade and business is that trade involves buying and selling of goods, whereas business involves all activities performed by a business entity including, buying and selling, advertising, marketing

 

[Heatman]

If you look at both trading and business closely, you can easily find out that both of them are business in the end because they are all an act of business that pays you money.

 

[Tislad]

Well to me evety business involves buying and selling or product or goods or whatever so I feel trading is what that is called so I don't think there is a difference between trading and business.

 

[Yhubee]

I would say trading is a part of business. It involves buying and selling and also marketing!

 

[YERUS]

Trading, in my own view, is not business. If you're a trader, you don't own a business because trading involves only buying and selling which is a little concept in business. How do you view the two? Do we say trading is business and business is trading?

I will say the two are different concepts.
Trading is a type of business.
There are various business types which one delve into. Trading which is the buying and selling of goods is one of them.

I definitely enjoy your definition and I feel that it covers the whole main point of what it means to add business and what it also means to be trading. In my own little knowledge I will say trading is just their act of buying and selling why business is the whole activity of buying and selling, asset and liability composition to start up an organisation all at a profit.

Trading is a component of the business activity. Trading refers to as buying and selling of goods and services facilitated by the means of exchange such as money while business is an organization where goods and services are exchange for one another or money. Business involve production, buying and selling, services and financial accountability.

in my own point of view the trading you are doing is a kind of business,trading especially goods and commodity is a business when the transaction has been done or complited.

Business involves every process or activities to run it. Trading is part of business. It is the most important part of business where goods and services are exchanged in other to make profit.

 

[Kelly5]

To me there is no difference between the two words as they are only used appropriately when suited for a discussion. They both are the same in final meaning

 

[Lens]

You get it all wrong there. Are you telling me buying and selling isn't a business? That's a very wrong notion because business is basically buying and selling of goods and services. Anything you invest money on in anticipation to make profit is regarded as a business.

 

[Ralphjoe]

Trading is essentially business, the buying and selling you are doing is a business transaction. They are closely related, you can't do business without trading as well, they are intertwined and I believe they are fundamentally the same.

I think trading is just there to help buying and selling alone but the whole sunshine off buying selling purchasing a location and all the aspects of The activity called trading is called business. So in essence you can say business involved a more broader term than trading

 

[kayode10]

Trading involves buying something as a lower price and send it in order to make gains. Business online is the process of creating a product and sell it to the reading market for-profit.

 

[Seno inyang]

Anything that has to do with trading is a business from my point of view. You can't do business without trading your products.

 

[Ralphjoe]

The term trade or business generally includes any activity carried on for the production of income from selling goods or performing services.

Trade is something in which you take ready made materials from one party & sell it to another with adding your profit margin. Its kind of taking a material in bulk with low price & then selling it to customer as per their requirement. In a raw language you can consider a trader as a distributor of the particular brand.

Which is quite a simple explanation of these two terms and I am very particular about the term trade being the most simplest of them all. Like you said trade is any activity carried out for the production of income from selling goods or services and this is true about any trading activities that we can see all around us.
