  • A private company limited by shares is a type of company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, Scotland, that of certain Commonwealth countries and the Republic of Ireland. It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public, unlike those of public limited companies. "Limited by shares" means that the company has shareholders, and that the liability of the shareholders to creditors of the company is limited to the capital originally invested, i.e. the nominal value of the shares and any premium paid in return for the issue of the shares by the company. A shareholder's personal assets are thereby protected in the event of the company's insolvency, but money invested in the company will be lost. A limited company may be "private" or "public". A private limited company's disclosure requirements are lighter, but for this reason its shares may not be offered to the general public (and therefore cannot be traded on a public stock exchange). This is the major distinguishing feature between a private limited company and a public limited company. Most companies, particularly small companies, are private. Private companies limited by shares are required to have the suffix "Limited" (often written "Ltd" or "Ltd. ") or "Incorporated" ("Inc. ") as part of their name, though the latter cannot be used in the UK or the Republic of Ireland. In the Republic of Ireland "Teoranta" ("Teo. ") may be used instead, largely by Gaeltacht companies. "Cyfyngedig" ("Cyf. ") may be used by Welsh companies in a similar fashion.
  • Une société en commandite par actions ou SCA est une structure juridique originale pour laquelle on distingue deux types d'associés : Les commanditaires sont les actionnaires de la société, et ne sont responsables des dettes qu'à concurrence de leur participation au capital. Les actions sont nominatives. L'assemblée des commanditaires suit les mêmes règles que dans une société anonyme (SA). Les commandités ont le statut de commerçants, et sont nommés par les commanditaires. Ils sont indéfiniment et solidairement responsables des dettes sur leurs biens propres. Ils peuvent être également commanditaires. L'assemblée des commandités suit les mêmes règles que dans une société en nom collectif (SNC). La société est administrée par des gérants nommés par les commandités avec l'accord des commanditaires. Ils sont contrôlés par un conseil de surveillance composé de commanditaires.
