Essentially, businesses are systems that generate income regardless of the fact that you are working or not. On the other hand, a freelancer or self employed gets money only when s/he works. But setting up a business is much difficult or a long drawn affair. A business needs capital to start whereas many freelancing jobs just need your abilities and skills. The key differentiator is the fact that while both models generate money, while Business is capable to run itself, a freelance job pays only when you are working.
