I am appalled at the number of "Christians" who use the term "business" for what the Bible calls usury. Through the years, I have advised more businesses, churches, and ministries than I can shake a stick at. In almost every case, I discover some hidden deception cloaked in the cloth of "business." It is important, if not critical, to understand what the Scriptures have to say about making money off of the losses of others - usury.
Making money off of the pain of others is not only common nowadays, but some "children of God" have literally made a business out of it. I have even seen some that have "Christ-centered" on their literature. The ramifications of such acts of manipulation are a bit frightening.
