The English word company has both social and business connotations. But in the end of the day, it’s the same word.
Same in Hebrew: whether it refers to a group of people coming together for the purpose of giving their services to the world in exchange for money, or to a group of people who with all their similarities and differences form a society, the word is חברה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/חברה-#.m4a” /].

She is the owner of a large company in Tel Aviv.
