Business

One difference between a business and a residence, though both are usually owned by one or several people, is that people dont usually buy a commercial building with the intention of living in it, and people dont usually buy a residence with the intention of selling goods or services from it. Of course the owner/ proprietor of the business makes the decisions of who comes in and who goes, they own it, nobody else really has the right to make the decision but them, but a business is not the same as a residence, it has a different purpose. Looking after goods is not the same thing as looking after a family.

People know when they invest in a business that it's not the same thing as buying a home.

Business class asylum seeker

Business Class Asylum Seeker (n.)
A tax-bracket Olympian who earns six figures before breakfast but somehow qualifies for every grant, rebate, and relief scheme under the sun. Typically found complaining about “lazy people on benefits” while submitting their fifth R&D tax claim for an app that doesn’t work.

Master of the limited company shuffle, they employ themselves, invoice themselves, and occasionally furlough themselves — all while driving a Tesla bought through the business. They view the welfare state not as a safety net, but as a rewards program for the financially literate.

“Have you seen your sisters LinkedIn? Bragging about scaling her company and ‘creating opportunities’ — she’s the biggest business class asylum seeker I know. Claimed three COVID grants while leasing a Q5.”
