dwarf Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I was just wondering if anyone could give me some examples of public limited companies, private limited companies and sole traders/partnerships. Is nintendo private limited? any information about these businesses much appreciated because i dont understand it much. facts and figures would also help
Roostophe Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I can think of one example: Aston Villa Football Club Ltd But the only reason I can think of them being a private limited company is because they have only one shareholder. Sorry, I never paid any attention in Business Studies. God, that lesson was shite.
Noodleman Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Pretty sure Nintendo are a PLC as they are listed on the stock exchange. PLC means anybody can buy a share in the company. so for examples of PLC's just take a look at the stock market.
Gizmo Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 PLCs=Public Limited Companies. Anyone can buy a share in them from the stock exchange. Large business (national/international). Example: Nintendo LTDs=Private Limited Companies. Owned by (a) private investor(s). Not on the stock exchange. Large business (national/international). Example: Actually, I can't think of any in particular. Many large businesses will be LTD's without the public actually realising. Partnerships=Owned by 2-20 private investors, medium sized businesses (local/regional). Example: Most law firms. Sole Trader=Owned by one person. Small businesses (local). Example: Hot dog vendor.
