business's

Belonging to enterprise

Business's is the possessive form of business, indicating ownership or association: The business's profits exceeded expectations, the business's reputation.

Some style guides prefer business' without the second s, but both forms are standard.

The word often appears in formal or legal contexts where precise attribution matters.
