Is a store considered a business? What are the differences between a store and a company?

It may be self-employed or it may be a partnership. If you have a business license, you can count it as a business. However, self-employed and partnership enterprises do not pay corporate income tax, but pay individual income tax.

As long as it is a for-profit business unit, it can be called an enterprise, but the types of enterprises are different, such as individual industrial and commercial households, partnerships, state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, joint-stock enterprises (including limited liability companies, shares) and so on.

A company is a form of business organization. Strictly speaking, a company refers to a for-profit association established by shareholders in accordance with the law. In other words, a company is an economic entity formed in a certain organizational form, generally for the purpose of profit, engaged in commercial activities or for some purposes.

With the mission of maximizing the interests of investors, we provide products or services in exchange for income. It is a product of social development and develops as a result of the development of the social division of labor. Companies generally have independent civil liability.

Collectively referred to as legal persons.

The advantages of the company are:

1. The limited liability of the company's shareholders determines that the shareholders who invest in the company can not only meet the needs of investors to seek benefits, but also limit the risks they bear to a reasonable range and increase their enthusiasm for investment.

2.The company, especially the shares, can be publicly issued and bonds, and widely raise funds in the society, which is convenient for the establishment of large enterprises.

3.The company implements the principle of complete separation of ownership and management rights, and improves the company's management level.

4。The company's unique organizational structure makes the company's capital and operation tend to maximize the benefits and better realize the purpose of investors.

5.The form of the company is completely detached from personal color, it is a permanent union of capital, and the personal survival and safety of shareholders does not affect the normal operation of the company. As a result, the company has a long duration and high stability.

Article 2 of the Company Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates: "The term "company" in this Law refers to the company in accordance with this Law; Limited liability companies and shares established in China****. That is to say, China's Company Law only stipulates two types of companies:

Limited Liability Company with Shares****. There are two completely different views on the understanding of this legal provision in China. One view is that; China's Company Law does not recognize other forms of companies such as unlimited liability companies and cooperative companies; No other form of company can be created.

Another point of view is that it does not prohibit the application of laws other than the Companies Act to create other forms of companies.

Stores: As the name suggests, there is a storefront entity to buy and sell goods.

**Company: It is also the sale and purchase of goods, but it is not necessary to have a storefront, and it can be traded through other forms, such as online transactions.

**Company, generally used in the name of the company, indicates that the company's business is mainly based on buying and selling.

A company is a business, and a store is a store. I think it's just a big scale and a small scale.
