What is the difference between non and no ?
A:
Non- is not a word, but a part of another word, usually a descriptive adjective:
non-lethal, non-professional, non-native, non-technical, non-playing
(The hyphen is optional.) Each of these mean "anything but ..." -- anything that doesn't
kill you is non-lethal, anything that's not technical is non-technical, etc.
This meaning contrasts with un- and in-, which refer to opposites instead of complements.
No is half of the answer pair Yes/No, shading off vocally into Nah, Nuh-uh, and Uh-uh.
But it can also quantify and negate any noun phrase:

non-lethal, non-professional, non-native, non-technical, non-playing

Q:
What is the difference between non of your business and non of your concern ?
A:
Generally None of your business is rude and none of your concern is more polite/formal, but then again the situation and tone is important. Both mean something is private information and should not be asked about.
None of your business:
E.g. Person A and B are gossiping and person C joins the conversation adding their opinion, person A replies "this is none of your business".
You feel the other persons annoyance that you even talked about the issues.
None of your concern E.g. There is a problem at work and you asks about it, the person replies this is none of your concern/this doesn't concern you.
It's just better too hear.
But it's really depends on context and tone because they are both interchangeable.
