private corporations
Non-governmental owned companies
Private corporations are businesses owned by individuals, families, or select groups of investors rather than the general public.
Unlike public corporations, their shares don't trade on stock exchanges: The company remained a private corporation to avoid quarterly earnings pressure.
Most businesses are private corporations, from small family firms to massive enterprises like Cargill.
The term sometimes distinguishes investor-owned companies from government-owned entities.
