Private ownership is when an organisation is owned, bought or sold by other companies and it is found in many cases that shares in the organisation are traded on the stock exchange privately.
Private companies can choose their shareholders and this is the only real difference to independent companies. These companies also don't have to give an exact percentage of income to the government.
