pro-business
Supporting corporate interests
Pro-business describes policies, attitudes, or politicians that favor commercial interests—lower taxes, fewer regulations, lighter enforcement.
A pro-business climate attracts investment.
The term is often self-applied by conservatives and applied critically by progressives: The administration's pro-business stance drew praise from corporations and criticism from labor unions.
