Know the Difference between Investment and Business

[Kelly5]

In my opinion, investment means two things. It an mean one putting his money into something and waiting for the yeild or investing into a business. But business is something you physically run yourself

When you put or deposit money in Bitcoin to get a profit at a later date, that is investment, but running a clothing store would be a business.

I like your line of thought. These two are dangerously close to each other in meaning. Because from their definition, a business can be a form of investment and vise versa. This makes it even confusing. But i would say a business sound more like an entity while investment is some kind of a driver.

Most highest most people see investment as business but not all investment and business you training your children and school is investing in life but it is not a business.

If you are saving money you are just keeping it like that so that you'll be able to access it on a later date but if you are investing money then you are putting steaks into something and it can either reproductive or not

To know the difference we have to explain what investment and business is. First let’s take investment and ask Wikipedia for the definition. Investment is the commitment of money or capital to purchase financial instruments or other assets in order to gain profitable returns in form of interest, income, or appreciation of the value of the instrument.


Whew. Alright how about we talk that in English. Investment is just placing cash in something in the expectation of making a benefit later on. You can invest in numerous things, such countless examples of ventures like land, real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, forex, and so forth....

What is business: A business is an association or organization that provides products and services and makes benefit subsequently. We have internet business, retail (buy&sell) business and other examples of business.

Great tips op. I think most people don't understand the concept and difference between these two, and this post should clearify them.

An investment can refer to any mechanism used for generating future income, including bonds, stocks, real estate property, or a business, among other. Putting your money to work for you. while Business is when people are working for you,

Well anyways business can be considered as an investment but the only difference is that you have to be working on daily basis for you to be able to make profit from your business.

One has to know the big difference between investment and business because most times it's an investment and the business and all business are not investment.

Thanks for this eye opener. I laugh when a lot of people say they're into online business when what they do doesn't bring consistent profit or is limited. A business is more or less a system that has processes that brings in income.
So, if what you're doing isn't a process based thing, you're not running a business

When you are doing a business you are engaging in any legal business that will be able to generate some money on a weekly or monthly basis, investment only deal with putting your money and getting a certain percentage without involving yourself physically.

 

[Thinker009]

I think investment is more better because there are possibilities of earning from different options , while business could be a particular section

 

[Josemendez]

To me , there is no much difference between these two. A business is an investment to grow more money from the initial Capital. They cannot be separated easily.

Investment is an income planning scheme where a person saves money for the raining days. Investment is the commitment of money to buy financial instruments or properties in order to make profits either in monthly or quarterly. While business is an organization that provides products and services to people so as to benefit from it.

I will go with your simple explanation. And investment is not necessary that we have a building to set as shop or office. It is done buy putting our money on some things and selling it back for profit

Yes there are slight difference between investment and business this is because investment is a long time business that you make profit in the long run why most business are making profit on a short run.

In your definition you may have been able to make a distinction between investment and business but they are interwoven because any money you put into any kind of business is an investment.

Well the major difference between an investment and business is the founder and investment is a situation whereby you use your money to put into a business and at the end of the day profit will be paid plus your investment ya business is any legal venture that is started to earn a profit in buying and selling.

 

[Kingstone]

Investment can be a long-term deal where you get a daily, weekly, or monthly profit depending on the amount invested. With investments, the investor has little or no control over it as the returns depend on the type of investment. Business is more like everyday activities where you can control how to handle the products and services more.

 

[Good-Person]

Investment refers to using your capital as a sleeping business partner. On the other hand, you can conduct business by investing money and participate in business related activities as an active partner.
