Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Business risk is defined as the possibility of occurrence of any unfavourable event that has the potential to minimise gains and maximise loss of a business. In simple words, business risks are those factors that increase the chances of losses in a business and reduce opportunities of profit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Business risk is the exposure a company or organization has to factor(s) that will lower its profits or lead it to fail. Anything that threatens a company’s ability to achieve its financial goals is considered a business risk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Business risk is the possibilities a company will have lower than anticipated profits or experience a loss rather than taking a profit. Business risk is influenced by numerous factors, including sales volume, per-unit price, input costs, competition, and the overall economic climate and government regulations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Risk Versus Uncertainty. Risk, as it is generally understood by health and safety risk analysts, measures the probability and severity of loss or injury. Uncertainty, on the other hand, refers to a lack of definite knowledge, a lack of sureness; doubt is its closest synonym.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is Business Uncertainty? In its simplest form, business uncertainty is any event that a business is unable to predict or directly influence which may lead to negative outcomes as a result. While similar, it is not to be confused with risk, as the two concepts do differ.
