Most companies considered to be businesses are for profit organisations
This includes anything from retail stores to restaurants to insurance companies to real estate companies.

3. Sold at cost Business Purposes
A price placed on a product or service that is the same as the seller paid to create or buy it.
A company might engage in this sort of pricing in order to increase market share at the expense of profitability.
They might also use this tactic to off load stock that won’t sale at a profit
Another example is a local drama society who charges a small ticket price to cover their overheads. They can do this as the people involved usually work for free. A commercial theatre group couldn’t do this as they need to pay wages.

4. Below cost Business Purposes
A price placed on a product or service that is less than the seller paid to create it.
A company might engage in this sort of pricing in order to increase market share at the expense of profitability.
Another example is NHS prescription drugs. The charge per item to the consumer is £7.20 but the cost to the NHS who supplies the consumer can be much more. The NHS is subsidising the consumer.
