The inherent element of every thriving business is its revenue. A definition of this term refers to the amount of money the company receives from service providing and product selling. Some entities are getting the revenue from charging fees or interest, e.g., bank institutions. Moreover, revenue, just next to the expenses, appears in every financial statement analysis. It can determine an income from operating activities in general, or companies might state it in a monetary unit for a specified period.
