Public enterprise

Public enterprise is when a business is owned by the government. It's kind of like when your family owns a business and you work for them. The government does the same thing and when the business belongs to the government, it is called a public enterprise. Public enterprises can be big or small, like a post office or a big business that sells planes. They are owned and managed by the government, meaning the government makes decisions about how they run and how they make money.
