What's the difference between a company and a self-employed person?

There are the following differences between companies and individual operators:

1. Different legal subjects: the company is a legal person, and civil lawsuits such as creditor's rights, debts and economic disputes arising in the course of the company's operation are all conducted in the name of the company, and the employees of the company are not personally responsible for this, except in special circumstances; The self-employed take the owner as the civil subject and bear legal responsibility for their own business activities and other matters arising from their business activities;

2. Industrial and commercial registration is different: the business licenses registered by the company according to its form of establishment are "limited liability company" and "joint stock limited company", while the business license obtained by the self-employed after registration is "individual business license";

3. Different income taxes: the company pays income tax on its annual operating income according to the Enterprise Income Tax Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), and individual industrial and commercial households pay personal income tax according to the Individual Income Tax Law of People's Republic of China (PRC);

4. Different conditions for establishment: the establishment of a company requires articles of association and qualified production and business premises, but individual industrial and commercial households do not have these requirements.
