    All answers given so far focus on a description rather than on putting it in context. This is about 2 tier versus 3 tier. The OP has experience with 2 tier applications and does not see business logic because it is not explicitly and visibly separated from the UI and data layer logic in the applications he worked on.

    Business logic is not an apt name by the way, which adds to the confusion. It applies to software used in the commercial space, which covers a lot of software but not all of it. Application logic would have been a better, more universally applicable name. But for some reason the term business logic stuck. It would be interesting to learn who coined this first and how it became the generally accepted name for middle tier logic. Commented Aug 1, 2021 at 7:45
