Not very well. The essence of the free enterprise system is that different entrepreneurs will compete on a level playing field and that the customer will select the business that is providing the best product and service and that business will succeed . . . until another competitor comes along. It doesn't work in the US because of a number of factors which inhibit competition and tend toward monopolies: 1. Larger corporations are given tax breaks by the government which smaller ones do not get and so the smaller ones cannot compete. 2. Larger corporations are able to use the economics of scale to swallow up potential competitors. They can undercut prices and drive small businesses bankrupt, or force them to merge because the big corporations have much larger reserves of money. 3. Larger corporations are able to bribe politicians (this is called lobbying) into passing laws which accomodate the larger corporations' agendas, thus enabling them to become larger and more powerful. 4. Finally, the idea that unsuccessful businesses fail, a cornerstone of free enterprise, does not apply to large businesses which are considered "too big to fail" and which are given government bailout money no matter how ineptly they are administered. In other words the US economy is resembling more and more the economy of Soviet Russia, except that instead of inefficient monopolistic industries being run by the government, they are running the government.
Free enterprise refers to an economic system where individuals and businesses have the freedom to own and operate their own businesses, make independent decisions about production and consumption, and compete with others in the market.
The Federal government sets aside certain contract bid opportunities exclusively for small businesses. In order to compete for these contracts, you must first register as a vendor with the government. You must also enter information into SAM about your company.

Businesses compete through better services and products offered to their consumers as well as better technological advances to their competitors. They also compete by engaging and interacting well with clients that could give them a better lead in the market competition that they are into.
