Legal analysis: Self-employed refers to the business invested by individuals in the form of individual business or family business. A company's business license refers to the operation carried out by a company or collective enterprise with legal personality. Self-employed or sole proprietorship enterprises only need to pay personal income tax on their income. The operating income of a limited liability company pays both enterprise income tax and individual income tax. Industrial and commercial households refer to individual investment, individual operation or family operation, and the business license of enterprise as a legal person refers to a company or collective enterprise with legal person qualification. The main difference between the two is that individual industrial and commercial households bear unlimited joint liability, while companies or collective enterprises bear limited liability to the extent of the capital contribution subscribed by shareholders. One is a legal person, the other is not, one is limited external liability, which is relatively large, and the other is unlimited liability, which is relatively small.
