Talend Business Model is a graphical representation of the project flow (data flow) that helps the staff to understand the needs of a project. In general, we don’t create a business model because we use third-party tools to design or explain the business flow.
In order to create a business model, right-click on the business model folder in a Talend repository and select create business model option from the context menu. Or you have an existing business model, and you can import that using the import items option. If you want to export the created business model, you can export it using the Export items option.

- Description: Write a brief description of the business model.

Once you have created a Business Model, you can right-click on it to alter the flow. The following screenshot shows the options available in the context menu. The Edit Business Model option helps to alter the business flow (adding or deleting components).
