==Market participants in electronic business==
{{norefs|section|date=August 2024}}
Electronic business can take place between a very large number of market participants; it can be between business and consumer, private individuals, public administrations, or any other organizations such as [[non-governmental organization]]s (NGOs).
These various market participants can be divided into three main groups:
#Business (B)
#Consumer (C)
#Administration (A)
All of them can be either buyers or service providers within the market. There are nine possible combinations for electronic business relationships. B2C and B2B belong to E-commerce, while A2B and A2A belong to the [[E-government]] sector which is also a part of the electronic business.
