Business aviation is now mainstream.
Prospective fliers are also cognizant of the expansion of business aviation options, and the growth of the U.S. economy has given many the wherewithal to enjoy the benefits of private flying. Price matters to many companies, especially public ones, so cost justifications are usually necessary. First, you should define travel patterns and needs, including the number of people traveling and their destinations. You will also need to determine who will use the airplane. Aircraft acquisition and operating costs can be obtained from aircraft salespeople, manufacturers, charter operators, aircraft management companies, consultants, industry associations, and such trade publications as McGraw-Hill's Business and Commercial Aviation magazine.
