MM means Millions in the business world...

M means thousands.

K is not typically used in finance.

For example:

$25MM would mean $25 Million where $25M would mean $25 Thousand.

That may be so in America, but not elsewhere. The use of M for 'Thousand' would be potentially very confusing for international trade, journalism or travel used to 'M' = Million whether counting currency units, people or physical dimensions. That use of M is reflected in the ISO-SI measurements system, and IS used to mean million in finance as well as, say, tonnes of goods, in Britain and Europe. East of the Atlantic - and no doubt West of the Pacific - $25M = $25 Million.

Does MM mean millions?

no. It means millimetersLowercase "mm" does mean millimeters, but uppercase "MM" is used for millions. "Mille" is Latin for "thousand". So technically MM would be "thousand thousands" or "a million" I have seen $30M used to mean 30-million-dollars but in that example one uses a currency symbol AND an uppercase M. (This is common in financial uses.) I have seen $30k used when describing a salary for example. "k" meaning one-thousand (again using a currency symbol.)The Associated Press Stylebook (for journalists) says that "mm" means millimeter and "million" should be written out.I would also add that the context of the sentence would add to the meaning of the abbreviation used.
