Which term differentiates services that meet the needs of businesses from those that serve individual consumers?

• A. Business Services
• B. Consumer Services
• C. Public Services
• D. Gravity Model

Answer: (A)

Think about who the service is for. Services that are designed to support companies, organizations, or government are called business services. They’re the kind of support that helps a business run—things like IT support, management consulting, financial services for firms, and logistics. In contrast, consumer services target individual households, such as haircuts, restaurants, or personal care. Public services are provided by the government, and the Gravity Model is a way to predict interactions between places, not a type of service. So the term that differentiates services for businesses from those for individual consumers is business services.
