How it's used
Focuses specifically on the professional credibility and trustworthiness of a business entity rather than the personal fame of an individual. It is frequently used in formal contexts like financial reporting or legal disputes, though it remains perfectly understandable in casual conversation about consumer experiences.
Examples
This company's reputation has always been very good.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the reputation of a person, as it is strictly reserved for commercial entities. Use 聲譽 or 名聲 when referring to individuals instead.
