Swedish term
drift och verksamhet
Swedish to English
Bus/Financial
Management
I am looking for a term more descriptive than “operations and activities,” that would be acceptable in British English.
Proposed translations

business operations
These ARE difficult, because verksamhet can refer to everything an organization does, business or not. Government agencies in Sweden regularly publish Verksamhetsberättelser. But when these terms concern a business, I usually translate verksamhet as business operations and drift as operations

operation and enterprise
I have often seen 'enterprise' in connection with company 'activity'.
'Drift' is also reffered to as 'management' in some cases.
