  <mainDescription>&lt;p>
    Business policy controls, influences, or regulates the actions of an enterprise and the persons working in it but
    without any enforcement. The purpose is more to guide an enterprise
&lt;/p>
&lt;p>
    Business policy tends to be:
&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
    &lt;li>
        less structured
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        less discrete or not atomic
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        less carefully expressed in terms of a standard vocabulary
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        not directly enforceable.
    &lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>
    Business policy is the base for business rules.
&lt;/p>
&lt;p>
    An example of policy is:&quot; A claim needs to be processed in 60 days&quot;
