Self-Employed: Entrepreneur or Not?
In modern society, an increasing number of people choose self-employment as a type of occupation and a way to earn money. However, the question arises: is a self-employed person an entrepreneur? On the one hand, the self-employed do not create a legal entity or hire employees, which distinguishes them from entrepreneurs. On the other hand, they organize their activities independently, are responsible for the results of their work, and pay taxes. What kind of criteria are there for defining an entrepreneur? What rights and obligations do the self-employed have? What are the similarities and differences between the self-employed and entrepreneurs?
