Does anyone know how to apply for a patent? I run a small business. Is there a difference between personal application and enterprise application?

Applying for a patent in the name of an individual is a non-service invention, and the patent right belongs to the individual; An application for a patent in the name of an enterprise is called a service invention, and the patent right for a service invention belongs to the enterprise.

The patent law stipulates that service inventions can only be applied for service inventions, not non-service inventions in the name of individuals, otherwise the unit has the right to claim patent rights through law; Of course, if you are the boss, you will not pursue yourself, and you can apply for job inventions and non-job inventions;

The standard fee for patent application for service inventions and non-service inventions is the same, but after the fee reduction, the fee for non-service inventions can be reduced by 85%, and the corresponding fee for service inventions can only be reduced by 70%.

Everything else is the same.
