💼 Business Words
Business English is full of words that sound ordinary yet carry specific professional weight. A team does not simply “use” a resource - it may leverage it. A process is not only “improved” - it is often streamlined. These terms help you speak and write with the precision expected in meetings, reports, and everyday workplace communication.
The list below covers core actions, planning language, money terms, people-related words, and performance vocabulary. Each entry includes a clear meaning, a realistic example, and a short nuance note.
