Business in English does have quite a few meanings. I very much doubt you'll find an exact equivalent with all these meanings in Chinese. Instead you'd have a term for each aspect of the English word business (company, trade, commerce, industry... ). 公司 looks like the best term, but it's more like company.

I don't speak Chinese though. So you'd better wait for a native.

業務 is the trad term but also the Japanese term (I dropped 業務.jp a while ago).

The term means "business activities" or "business matters" etc in Chinese. It is not equivalent to "Business" in English.

Thanks for the info, what's your opinion on 业务 as a 'general' business term
