corporatised
Turned into business
Corporatised is the British spelling of corporatized—made to operate like a corporation.
The term typically describes public services or government bodies restructured to follow business principles: The hospital was corporatised in the 1990s.
The word often carries critical undertones, suggesting that profit motives have displaced public service values.
