SHP meaning in Business ?

Shire is a traditional term for a division of land, found in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and some other English-speaking countries. It is generally synonymous with county. It was first used in Wessex from the beginning of Anglo-Saxon settlement, and spread to most of the rest of England in the tenth century. In some rural parts of Australia, a shire is a local government area; however, in Australia it is not synonymous with a "county", which is a lands administrative division.
