Business development is a separate function and starts their job even before a company commences its production/commercial operation and aims at far reaching goals.  Marketing is more or less an activity for the present and if the scope expands it may be tend to business development activities.

Good Day!!!

To my opinion, When a marketing plan is finalized and ready to implement, the role of business development starts.

Both the terms used interchangeably in certain organizations but have different roles as well some overlapping jobs as well.
