695:. Commerce is not business, but a specific part of it. Whereas manufacturing or production represents the supply side of business, commerce represents the demand side of business. Business is the production and distribution of goods and services to make profit. Commerce is the part of business which specifically deals with all the activities related to the distribution of goods and services produced and make a business transaction happen between a buyer and a seller. The actual transaction of goods and services is called trade, but the scope of commerce is much bigger than trade, as it includes not only trade, but banking, insurance, logistics, communication, transportation, marketing, warehousing, agency and all other economic activities related to distribution which facilitate trade. Not only that. Commerce is usually related to not individual or small scale transactions, but it is related to trade on a bigger scale, such as regional, national or international commerce. So business, commerce and trade are distinct concepts and thus they should have separate articles dedicated to them.
