We should distinguish between nature and responsibility. A partner who is jointly and severally liable for the debts of an enterprise belongs to a partnership, and a partner who is liable for the company to the extent of its capital contribution belongs to a limited liability company. The above two companies are both private enterprises.
There are three types of private enterprises:
(1) sole proprietorship. Refers to an enterprise invested and operated by one person. The investors of a sole proprietorship enterprise shall bear unlimited liability for the debts of the enterprise.
(2) Partnership enterprises. Refers to two or more people in accordance with the agreement to invest, * * * with the operation, * * * negative profits and losses of enterprises. Partners shall be jointly and severally liable for the debts of the enterprise.
(3) Limited liability companies. It means that shareholders are liable to the company to the extent of their capital contribution, and the company is liable to the company's debts with all its assets.

Advantages of private enterprises:
Controllability of decision-making
Deciding the business strategy of an enterprise is directly related to the success or failure of private enterprises. Every business owner will consciously invest in it and dare not slack off. They should get the necessary information through full market research, and correct their decisions at any time through market competition, and try their best to avoid or reduce mistakes.
And they often have to go through many failures to succeed. They have invested a lot in their human capital, and they will continue to "recharge" themselves and constantly enrich or update their knowledge. They have long working hours and great flexibility and fuzziness.
flexibility of operation
With the increasing application of science and technology, business owners have a deeper understanding of "science and technology is the primary productive force". They use science and technology in various forms. For example, business owners study an applicable technology by themselves, send their children to universities and even abroad to study professional technology and management knowledge, hire scientific and technological personnel with high salaries, buy out a patent and buy shares in technology.
In recent years, some powerful private enterprises have invested huge sums of money to set up R&D departments and continuously introduced new products. We often see that a boss with only a primary school education can get many doctors and engineers employed, and let them settle down, work with peace of mind, give play to their creativity and enthusiasm, display their talents, and turn technology into productivity.
Marketing activities
The management activities of business owners are not only reflected in producing products and creating value, but more importantly, realizing products and thus realizing value.
The fate of commodity producers depends on whether the sales of their private labor products can be recognized by the society, that is, whether they can exchange products for money and complete the "thrilling leap" from products to money. This transformation is a spontaneous social process, which is largely influenced by chance and arbitrariness, and is spontaneously regulated by the law of value.
