A company is also called a firm or a business. While it is producing goods or trad­ing, it is said to be in business. A firm which is just starting up is going into business and a com­pany which stops operating goes out of business. If a company gets bigger, it expands. The expansion of a firm means it can produce more goods or sell more of its products.

A manufacturer (or manufacturing company) produces goods. The goods it makes are its products. When a manufacturing company expands, it usually increases production. If one year it produces 100 tones and the next year it produces 110 tones, it has increased pro­duction by 10%.

A company which sells goods in large quantities (in bulk) is called a wholesale distributor (or wholesaler). A company or person buying goods in bulk (or wholesale) and sell­ing them in small quantities is a retailer. Most local shops are retailers and sell goods in retail.

Two or more companies which sell or manufacture the same product are competi­tors (or rivals). They are in competition and they compete for customers. In order to sell more goods than its rivals, a company must be competitive. It is important to keep ahead of the com­petition by selling at competitive prices. If one company has an advantage over its competitors (for example a cheaper or better product) it gives them an edge on the market.

An area where there is a demand for certain goods is called a market. A company which markets (sells) goods locally caters for the local market. Goods sold in the same coun­try as they are produced are sold on the home (or domestic) market. A company which sells goods abroad is an exporter. An exporter (or export company) sells goods on the internation­al (or overseas) market. The goods it exports are called exports. A company which starts sell­ing goods overseas is said to go into exporting (or to go into the export/exporting business). An importer buys goods abroad and imports them into his own country. The goods are then called imports and the process of importing is called importation.

Чтобы начать дело, нужен капитал. Можно занять деньги в банке в виде займа или овердрафта. В этом случае необходимо залоговое обеспечение чтобы заемщик, в случае неудачного бизнеса, мог выплатить долги кредитору.

Фирма может быть как в единоличном владении, так и принадлежать нескольким партнерам. В компании с ограниченной ответственности все партнеры несут ответственность за долги кредиторам. Все они являются акционерами и имеют прибыль от своего предприятия, если бизнес успешен.

Капитал, который берут в долг, называется заемным капиталом. Капитал, полученный от инвесторов, называется акционерным капиталом.

Exporting brings foreign currency into the countries, so governments encourage export trade by giving assistance and incentives (стимулы) to exporters. Often companies borrow money from banks to finance exporting. This money is called export credit. A government department called the E.C.G.D. (Export, Credit, Guarantee Department) gives a guarantee to the bank. This guarantee means the government carries the loss if the foreign buyer does not pay. It is a kind of insurance for the bank and the export/exporting company. Another form of government assistance or incentive is tax relief or tax advantages. Every company must pay a proportion of its earnings to the government in the form of tax. Tax relief means that exporters pay less tax on money earned abroad.

The Trade Fair is an exhibition of goods and a company exhibits a sample of its product at its stand. This is also a form of publicity (or advertising) and the company representative will probably hand out publicity brochures to advertize (or promote) the product further. Often journalists (the press) write about the trade fair and sometimes companies hold a press conference if they want to promote a particular model or range.

Another way of promoting (or publicizing) a new product is to place advertisements in magazines or newspapers. Advertisements are also called adverts or ads for short. A plan to do a lot of advertizing of one product is called a campaign. Starting an advertizing campaign on a new product is known as launching the product.

The aim of publicity/promotion is to interest customers (or buyers, or clients) in the product. When they decide to buy, they place an order. At a Trade Fair companies are trying to win (obtain) as many orders as possible.

An person or a company representing another company is called an agent. An agent who handles the documentation or transportation of exported goods is called an import agent or a forwarding agent.
