What is Commerce?

Commerce is a popular stream among children. It refers to the exchange of goods and services among individuals or business entities. Moreover, in this particular stream, there are several aspects of business, trading, accounting, merchandising, transaction, financial information and more. Commerce also plays an important role in the development of citizens and nations as it comprises trade between the nations or within the nation.
