non physical items, such as hairdressing.
• Customer needs are the wants and desires of buyers. Businesses buy the
resources they need from suppliers – firms selling products
to other businesses – and sell products to customers.

this can be a high street shop or a website. Businesses are likely to be
in competition with other firms offering similar products.

in the service sector; production is the business activity of using resources
