The expression "Time is money" is relevant to business English. It's important to get to the point.

"Business English" is a range of writing styles. These will differ according to context such as business to business or business to customer. Details may be dictated by corporate style guides.

The main thing is to be precise without being terse and it can be difficult for non-native speakers to find the balance between the two.

I don't understand what's going on in this thread. I assume the OP is enquiring about something related to differences in teaching General English and Business English.

I don't quite understand it either. The OP put the question in the thread title and purported to answer it. Why?

The OP asked a question and then answered it. If all threads were like that we'd have nothing to do.
