What's wrong with simply "products"? Like goods, services can be *produced*. "Output" can also work. At any rate, your question is more suitable on https://english.stackexchange.com/.

@HerrK. I think this is on-topic here.  The OP is asking for the appropriate technical term in economics, not about ordinary English usage.

@HerrK. Yes I know "services" are also "products". But is there an encompassing term? Example in a sentence "Our business' products (/goods) and services include ..," --> "Our business' X include ..." It would be weird to say "Our business' products and products include ..." :-)

@HerrK. If the answer is that there is no answer, then that is a valid answer... :) If you add as an answer I'll close this question. Thanks.

In some instances they'd be lumped together as "output".

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-12-05)

A business can sell "goods" (/"products") and "services".

Is there a term that encompasses both of these?

Various words may fit (e.g. "offering"), but I'm looking for the technical term, if there is one.
