Enterprise is like the idea of the business e.g.- tourism. Capital is the finance or machinery of the business. Economic factors are land, labour and capital. Expertise means specialisation in a certain area. Entrepreneurship is the risk taking ability and the ability to organise factors of production.

Labour is any mental or physical effort pit in the business by somebody. Production is the number of units produced. Profit is the revenue less costs made by the business. Consumer is the buyer. Trade credit is buying goods but paying for them on a later date.
