What is a firm in business terms?

I’d like a clear explanation of what is a firm in economics and business.
How is a firm different from a company or organization?
Are sole proprietors also considered firms?

A company is a profit making organization in business that offers professional services or products. It is often synonymous with company, but specifically refers to a business organization such as law or accounting practices that is organized as a partnership, sole proprietorship, or corporation in order to maximize the owner profit.

In business terms, a firm is an organization or company that produces goods or provides services to earn profit. It can range from a small sole proprietorship to a large corporation.

A firm is a kind of business organization that manufactures commodities or offers services to make a profit. It is a system of mobilizing resources, such as labor, capital and technology, to satisfy market demand and may take the form of a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation.
