The paper considers the research of the word class noun in English business magazines online, an area of interest pertaining to Business English. It presents the results of an empirical study on the corpus taken from selected business magazines online. The empirical analysis provides a valuable insight into the word class noun in this variety of Business English and makes its contribution to English syntax, semantics and morphology. The semantic part of the study identifies the most common nouns that appear in this part of Business English and underlines its semantic distinctiveness. The morphological part of the analysis is devoted to the word formation of the nouns found in the corpus. The analysis takes into consideration word formation terms such as: compounds, derivatives, conversions, acronyms and blendings.

They can act as an impetus for further research of the word class noun in Business English and enable contrastive analysis with the results from research in other segments of English for Specific Purposes.
