Yes. Overdraft is like an advance where you take cash from your overdraft account (even though you do not have equivalent bank balance) and then you repay the money to the bank once you have raised enough funding to repay the same. The bank would charge you an overdraft fee + interest for the money you borrowed from them
Yes, a business can have a net loss even though they have a positive gross profit from sales. Expenses like rent, utilities, etc. have to be figured in, too.
== == I'm not sure what you mean by "umbrella". It cannot be a part - like a division - of a for profit business. I presume you mean can a qualified tax exempt not for profit Incorporated entity be a subsidiary of a for Profit Co... No. A zillion reasons, but lets leave it as it couldn't be a qualified NFP entity. ::edit:: A for-profit business can in fact start a non-profit. Of course, there are stipulations regarding management, operation, board structure, and inurement of funds, but the underlying point is that, though challenging, it is possible. http://www.socialedge.org/features/skoll-world-forum/discussions/business-models/creating-a-hybrid-for-profit-non-profit-social-enterprise-structure/view ::end edit::

The difference is the IRS designation and the intent. Non profits exist to serve a purpose. Business exists to make money, though they also may serve a purpose.
Many accounts have an overdraft, meaning you can withdraw more than you have, but which means your balance goes into the negative though, ie, you're now borrowing money from the bank. If you have overdraft on your account, you can withdraw up to the amount of overdraft protection you have. If you do not have overdraft protection, you can withdraw only up to the actual amount you have in your account.
Honor Overdraft, such as at Wesbanco bank, is an amount you can overdraw your account before it being held against your credit. Wesbanco's honor overdraft for instance allows you to withdraw (in transaction, such as restaurant or store, ATM will not allow withdraw) $1-499 over your account balance before it is held against you, though overdraft fees and collection fees do apply until this negative balance is paid in full.
Overdraft is a form providing loan. Hence interest will be charged, even though it is on a temporary basis.
