The Business Service List 1.0, also known as the BSL (Browne & Culligan, 2016), is a list of approximately 1754 words that occur with very high frequency within the domain of general business English. The BSL is based on a carefully selected academic corpus of 64 million words and gives approximately 97% coverage of most business texts when learned in conjunction with the 2800 words of core general English in the New General Service List or NGSL (Browne, Culligan, & Phillips, 2013b).
