The Business was a business magazine published in the United Kingdom between 2006 and 2008.
Tom Rubython founded the Sunday Business newspaper in 1996, which provided a Sunday alternative to the Financial Times . In the autumn of 2006, after the paper experienced financial difficulties, the Barclay brothers (owners of The Daily Telegraph) acquired the title, [1] repackaged it under the guidance of Andrew Neil, and converted to a magazine. [2]
From 2007 to 2008 the magazine was edited by Allister Heath, who had held a number of roles at the publication since 2002. [3] On 13 February 2008, shortly after Heath's departure, it was announced that The Business magazine would be closing, to be replaced by The Spectator Business . Its paid circulation had been very small and it had relied on numbers of free copies to increase its reach.
