business profits
Company's net income
Business profits are the financial gains a company earns after subtracting all expenses, taxes, and costs from its total revenue.
This is the money left over that owners can reinvest, distribute as dividends, or save for future use.
The small bakery finally showed business profits after three years of operation.
The term appears frequently in tax contexts, where business profits determine tax liability, and in investment discussions, where consistent profits signal a healthy company.
