Business writing and Academic writing are two different writing methodologies that people use whenever applicable (Murray, Rowena, and Sarah Moore, 2006). A lot of individuals don’t know the characteristics between the two writing styles. Fundamentally, business writing is a form of writing that centre on the exact hard facts. There are no filler and frills sentences added (Murray, Rowena, and Sarah Moore, 2006). Thus, it is directly rewriting or restating core facts. When you see the academic world (from high school, grade school, undergraduate level, college level, and university), there you write for one reader who already knows the topic. The academic writing style is a formal and uses the third person perspective. The language uses precise words and does not include slang words, jargon, or abbreviations. The focus of the writing is on facts and issues rather than the writer’s opinion.

Your reader’s main objective is marking it when they read your paper according to how well you understand the assignment topic. Significantly, the marker determines a mark for individual points, reads the entire document, adds them up, and assigns an overall score (Rhodes, Carl and Andrew D. Brown, 2005). When I go to the business writing organization and visual appeal, while important, are not crucial as all parts are usually read if the marker takes his or her job seriously. Business writing style has to be briefly and must present clear content. As a result, business writing entries appear shorter than academic entries. It is only intended to say the facts and does not make the writing look impressive with the use of complicated sentence structures and out of this world vocabulary. Business readers tend to skim documents. They need a strong organizational structure and a document that appears easy to read. It’s more straightforward and simpler. As a matter of fact, writing while controlling the amount of words by making it as short or as direct to the point as possible is a lot harder than writing longer articles. Word emphasis is another difference between academic and business writing. Academic writing seriously to focus on nouns. For example, in a school essay, I would write, “A decision was reached.” But, in a business document, I would say, “We decided.” It is focus on verbs. These are the most difference between academic writing and business writing.
