business services

B2B professional offerings

Business services are activities that support commercial operations without producing tangible goods—accounting, consulting, marketing, legal work, IT support, payroll processing, and the like.

The term often appears in economic reporting and job classifications to distinguish service-sector work from manufacturing or retail: Business services drove most of the region's job growth.
