The primary factors of production in business are **land, labor, and capital**. These are the resources used to create goods and services:
1. **Land**: This encompasses all natural resources used to produce goods and services, including land itself and resources found on or under the land (like minerals, forests, and water).
2. **Labor**: This refers to the human effort that is used in the production process. It includes the physical and mental effort of workers.
3. **Capital**: This includes the tools, equipment, and machinery used in the production of goods and services, as well as financial capital which is necessary for starting and operating a business.
In economic terms, "interest" and "customer base" are not considered factors of production. Interest relates to the cost of borrowing capital, and a customer base is a result of production efforts rather than a factor used in production itself.
