business operations

Nach dem Brand konnte der Geschäftsbetrieb erst nach drei Wochen wieder vollständig aufgenommen werden.
After the fire, business operations could only be fully resumed after three weeks.
This noun is made up of 'das Geschäft' (business) and 'der Betrieb' (operation / enterprise). The 's' is a linking s. Both parts refer to economic activities, so the word describes the ongoing processes of a company.

The strike brought all business operations to a standstill.
'Geschäftsbetrieb' (business operations) is a formal term from business and administrative language. It is often used in official notices, reports, or legal contexts.
In dem offiziellen Schreiben wurde mitgeteilt, dass der Geschäftsbetrieb bis auf Weiteres eingestellt wird.
The official letter stated that business operations would be suspended until further notice.
This noun is often combined with certain verbs that describe the state of a company's activities: 'den Geschäftsbetrieb aufnehmen' (to begin/resume business operations), 'einstellen' (to cease/suspend), 'aufrechterhalten' (to maintain), or 'stören' (to disrupt).
Nach dem Wasserschaden war es schwer, den Geschäftsbetrieb wieder aufzunehmen.

business / operation
'Betrieb' and 'Geschäftsbetrieb' both have to do with work in a company or organization. 'Betrieb' can mean the company itself, but also the state of something running and being used. 'Geschäftsbetrieb' more often means ongoing operations: serving customers, selling, organizing, delivering. Learners may confuse the words because both often occur in work-related contexts. If you mean the company as a place or business, 'Betrieb' fits. If you mean that work or business activities are continuing, 'Geschäftsbetrieb' is more precise.
Wegen des Umbaus war der Geschäftsbetrieb eine Woche lang eingeschränkt.
Because of the renovation, business operations were limited for a week.
