Who is the owner?

Enterprise owner refers to the owner of enterprise ownership (property control). Because the ownership of the enterprise (property control) belongs to the operator, the real owner of the enterprise is the operator, not the shareholder. Although shareholders can personally manage the enterprise, in modern joint-stock companies, "withdrawal" seems inevitable. So I personally think that business owners are what we now call professional managers and legal representatives.

The owner's equity of an enterprise includes paid-in capital (or share capital), capital reserve, surplus reserve, interest receivable and undistributed profit. In joint-stock enterprises, owners' equity is also called shareholders' equity.

The owner's equity of an enterprise (legal person) refers to the residual rights and interests enjoyed or controlled by the owner after deducting the debts (payable debts) of the enterprise from the actual (stock) assets of the enterprise. Owner's equity is the owner's residual claim to enterprise assets. It is the part of the enterprise assets that should be enjoyed by the owner after deducting the interest of creditor's rights. It can not only reflect the preservation and appreciation of the capital invested by the owner, but also reflect the concept of protecting the rights and interests of creditors. "

In fact, owner's equity is the ownership of enterprise's net assets by enterprise investors. With the change of total assets and total liabilities. The owner's equity of an enterprise not only includes the owner's net assets, intangible assets and their contribution to the profit of the enterprise, but also carries the legal right of the enterprise owner to manage the enterprise and entrust others to manage the enterprise.

The difference between owners and investors:

1, "owner" refers to, including shareholders and creditors; "Investor" refers only to shareholders or owners. There is a difference between the way they get ownership of the company and their obligations to the company.

2. Owners' equity refers to the economic interests that the enterprise formed in the past and should belong to the owners. The sources of owners' equity include capital invested by owners, profits and losses directly included in owners' equity, retained earnings, etc. The profit and loss directly included in the owner's equity refers to the profit and loss that should not be included in the current profit and loss. Whether it is the capital invested by the owner or the profit distributed to the owner, the owner's equity will increase or decrease.

3. Owners include creditors and owners (shareholders). Investors can also be divided into long-term investors and short-term investors. Sponsors of listed companies are generally long-term investors, while retail investors in the securities market are basically short-term investors.
