Yes, capitalism is an economic system which is based on private ownership. The basis of capitalism is that goods and services are created for profit.

There are many different types of capitalism, the main differences occuring in the amount of control the government has over the market and the level of private ownership.

For example, free-market capitalism is when supply and demand are allowed to influence each other until an equilibrium is found without influence from the government. In this case, productive enterprises are privately owned.
