privatperson [här]
Swedish to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
The context is "privatperson eller företag?", dividing the clients of another company into two categories.
AFAIK, this is usually translated as "private person" or "private individual", but I need to know if there are other equally suitable alternatives, if one is preferred over another, and if so - in which markets (US, UK, AU, elsewhere)?
I'd appreciate if you write a personal remark when you agree, ie whether this is the correct usage in "your" country.

L&H Business fagordbog only gives this translation, so I assume that it applies to all varieties of English.

In the UK banking world, the choice is often between a personal account or a business account, personal banking and business banking. A quick check on the web seemed to indicate that the US use is the same. This may not fit in the context of this question, however. :-)

It is, up to you, actually, what to choose. The latter term is used as opposed to the legal body/entity.
