Business services are a part of the service economy that are important for companies and consumers alike. They are things a company needs to function but does not produce or sell itself (such as banking, transportation, and cleaning). A major portion of most low-income countries’ GDP comes from the services sector.
One important difference between goods and services is that while goods can be stored for later use, services must be used immediately. This means that customers can play a big role in the quality of services provided by businesses. For example, if a customer at a fast-food restaurant dithers when ordering and paying, it can slow down the line for everyone else.
There are many different kinds of business services. Some are essential for a company to operate, while others offer luxury or convenience. Often, businesses outsource business services that they do not have the expertise or resources to do in-house.
For example, a business may hire an IT consultant to maintain its computer systems. Other common business services include logistics and shipping, data management, payroll processing, and advertising.
In addition, some business services are designed to help companies grow. For instance, a service may provide legal advice and strategy, or offer training to help employees improve their performance. Many of these services are also scalable, which allows them to grow quickly in response to changing market and industry trends.
