Functions of commerce

The principal function of commerce is to remove the hindrances of persons, place, time, exchange and knowledge in connection with the distribution of commodities until they reach the consumer.
The manufacturers of goods and services are few in number as compared to consumers. Consumers are scattered over a wide area. As a result, it is difficult for the producers to contact with the consumers. Commerce helps to remove this hindrance between persons by means of trade.
These days' goods are produced in large quantities in anticipation of future demand. They must be stored in safe place to be sold later. Storage of goods, therefore, becomes necessary which warehouses perform. Warehouses remove the hindrance of time between production and consumption.
The goods may be produced at one place and the demand for them may be at a different place. The problem of distance is removed by commerce.
Goods are subject to several types of risk during transportation and storage. They may be stolen or damaged. This risk is covered by insurance.
The payment of goods and services is made possible through banks. The banks as part of commerce remove the hindrance of exchange and enable the buyers to procure goods by extending their own credit.
Selling of products is the most important problem of manufacturer. People buy the goods only when they have knowledge of the goods. This hindrance of knowledge is removed by advertising, which provides necessary information about the utility of the goods to the prospective buyers.
