The Business called itself London's first global business magazine published in the United Kingdom. It was edited by Allister Heath; published by Andrew Neil; and owned by the Barclay brothers, who also own The Daily Telegraph.[1]
It closed in February 2008 after it failed to prove a commercial success.
Although the magazine was generally thought to be of high quality, its paid circulation was very small and it relied on numbers of free copies to increase its reach.

The Barclay brothers acquired the title, repackaged it under the guidance of Andrew Neil, and converted to a magazine in the autumn of 2006.[2]
On 13 February 2008 it was announced that The Business magazine would be closing, to be replaced by .
