Is this the usual expression?

"is in the red." -"The business"

https://www.google.co.jp/search...%20business%22

the -'"the business" part means you'll see pages without tatoeba.org influenced web pages.

"in the red" is a common expression.

I'm not sure I'd ever say "the business is ...", but "Tom's company is ..." I might say.

"in the black" is the opposite meaning.

Thank you very much, CK.
Now, if you are to rephrase the expression "is in the red", is there anything you could say instead?
