Three Basic Kinds of Business

When you try to start your own business the first thing you are to do is to understand the general area of your interests and capabilities. It may be useful to consider that there are three ways you can serve consumer needs in the chosen area: making a product (manufacturing), selling a product (retail or wholesale sales), or providing a service. These are the three basic categories of business. Of course, these categories overlap, but if you analyze the businesses you know, you will see that one category usually predominates in each of them. For example, a meat packing company, a supermarket, and a McDonald's fast-food restaurant are all involved with hamburgers in some way, but for the meat packing company, production is the main activity; for the supermarket, sales is the main activity. With McDonald's, classification is more complicated. Do they sell a product (hamburgers) or a service (cooking the hamburgers and providing a place to eat them)?

There was a period in the US history when basic manufacturing was the main kind of business in that country. Today, service is rapidly becoming dominant. Service is involved in many large and profitable enterprises, such as health care, real estate (realtors don't ordinarily build and stock houses; they act as brokers between buyers and sellers), stock exchange activity, beauty shops, insurance, and such recent additions as computer programming and consulting.

Services are what busy people want to be done for them because they don't have the time to do it for themselves. Organizing an efficient up-to-date service needs a creative mind and some talent. But if you come up with a brand-new business in the service line and win your first customers you may hope for making your own success story in business. So, where might you fit in?
