Are there any differences between investment and business. What are the major points of differences and characteristics of the two. When is someone said to be investigated or just doing business?

Investment is different from business. Business is when you are directly involved in the business transaction. Investment is when you put your money in another business that is not your personal business. By this means, you make your money to work for you. In broader sense, business can be used interchangeably with investment.

Investment is when you just put in your fund into a product or business and not really involved in the activities of making it yield interest while business is when when you are actively doing a work to get good returns

You need to work to make money from your business but you do not need to work as an investor.

So basically investment brings passive income. Business gives you active income. If this is true, which type of financial model gives residual income?

People who are retirees are those who earn residual income. That is like their pension.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

Sorry if I am asking too many questions, what is residual income. I understand that passive income is money that you earn without your active participation. What is residual income then?

You have mentioned the difference between investment and trading but people prefer investment.

Investment is very viable because you don't need to be actively involved, it is your money that will bring in the profit.

 

[Suba]

There are many differences between business and investment, including investment which is often referred to as passive income, while your business must continuously work to make a profit. Businesses also need to offer/market goods or services to consumers.

 

[Springtime]

For investment, you make money work for you. That can be a source of passive income. If you run a business, you have to get involved in the operation of the business and work hard to make profits.

Investing is putting in your money either in a business, an idea for a long period of time or even a short period of time, with an expectation to get back the money you put in and as well some interest from it. Business on the other hand, you have to put in the works of marketing. And make sure you are able to make sales.
