Net Loss The result that occurs when expenses exceed the income produced. Investopedia Says: A person or company with a net loss has not made a profit. Newer businesses often run at a net loss for the first few years while acquiring one-time expenses (equipment, buildings, technology, rights, etc.). However, every business should have a plan to work towards a breakeven point, and then onwards to profit!
