business enterprise

Adaptability, skill, and zeal in engaging in business; a commercial enterprise, as distinguished from a charitable enterprise. Although an employee uses his automobile for the purpose of returning two of his employer's trailers to their station by attaching one to his automobile and loading the second trailer onto the first one, he is not engaged in a "business enterprise" within the meaning of a clause in an automobile liability insurance policy exempting from coverage the towing of a trailer used to transport goods or materials "in any business enterprise," where the employee engages in the undertaking on a trip made on his day off solely for his own pleasure and he acts of his own volition without authorization by the employer, neither expecting nor receiving any compensation therefor.
