In the modern world, the value of English can't be emphasized. It is the world's most commonly spoken international language and the main language of international business. Knowing global languages, particularly English, is vital for Pakistan to deal with the issues and opportunities that come with the free market. Proficiency in English enables them to efficiently communicate with the South Asian Association for Regional Corporation, European Union Countries, and other Economic Communities. In the business sector, English is the global language, allowing for simple communication and successful collaboration across various investors. Communication is essential in business processes; without it, the relationship between manufacturers, suppliers, and customers weakens, resulting in decreased entrepreneurial performance. English is an essential second language for business and communication. It emphasizes the need for persons and organizations to develop English skills in order to navigate the complexity of the global economy, improve intercultural communication, and achieve commercial objectives. The study emphasizes that English proficiency not only helps improve prospects for employment and professional development but also strengthens business relations and improves overall operational efficiency. The paper examines the role of English in internal and external business communication and advocates its importance in creating competitive advantages and encouraging successful entrepreneurial enterprises in an increasingly interconnected world. Learning English enables us to clearly interact with foreign business partners and connect with us all around the world.
