By size, I mean the physical size of the building. Large stores could be companies like Home Depot, or Costco. Examples of medium sized businesses could be hotels, such as Holiday Inn, or Best Western. Small sized stores could be fast food stores, such as McDonalds or Subway.
Number of locations is a good way to classify businesses. Some will be massive chain businesses, others will be just one store.
Industry is probably the best way to define a business. If it sells food, home appliances, entertainment, clothing, etc. You know exactly what you can get before entering the store.]]> 2016-09-26 16:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126438664 https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126445482 There can be many ways to classify businesses, but 3 ways I have are, service industry like McDonalds and Tim Hortons for food service. retail outlets walmart,  freshco and sears. corporate business nintendo, sega, google, microsoft and apple.]]> 2016-09-26 16:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126445482 https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126619535 one being a business that is owned by one person.

Another way to classify a business is by if they are selling a good or a service and what category that good or service falls into. If the store sells food that you take home to eat and cook with and they have a large veriety of food you might call that a grocery store. if they sell a bike repair service and bike parts you might call them a bike store. another way to classify businesses is if they have products that are sold in stores and retail outlets or if you can only buy their products online ]]> 2016-09-27 12:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126622926 https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126622963 I think businesses can be classified by if they offer a service or if they are selling a product.  Most business fall into either one of those two categories

Wether they are a supplier of goods, a wholesaler, or a distributor. One example of this would be a farmer growing crops, a company packaging the food, and then a grocery store selling it to the consumers.]]> 2016-09-27 12:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126622965 https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126623003 Some of the ways that I would classify a business would be chain business, a locally owned business and if it is a non-profit business.]]> 2016-09-27 12:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126623003 https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126623005 three ways to classify businesses in my area would be by gross income per year, number of employees, and whether or not they are a franchise. For instance, I believe that the local feed store is not a franchise and has relatively few employees (ten?), so I would classify them as a small business. Our local walmart, on the other hand, is a franchise and likely makes a lot more gross profit in a year than the local feed store. In addition to this it has more employees than the feed store so, i would classify them as a large business.]]> 2016-09-27 12:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126623005 https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126623041 Interdependent business means other businesses provide the food, cleaning supplies, etc. large or small; a business can be a small-time shop, to a multi million dollar  ]]> 2016-09-27 12:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126623041 https://padlet.com/alockhart1/25ckecd2j66s/wish/126623066 There are many fields in which business can be done. You can start a business shop of a pharmacy or clothing shop. You cant classify all businesses the same. If you take a company like Rogers, it has a lot of competitors like Bell. But this doesn't mean they and a fast-food shop are the same type of business.
