As we addressed the question in French in our previous article, let’s now continue in English.

A limited liability company (“LLC”) or private limited company (“société à responsabilité limitée”) has three main features:

  1. The LLC is the company in which a limited number of partners contribute a determined amount; 

  2. The partners’ corporate units of the LLC are exclusively represented by non-negotiable financial securities; and

  3. These financial securities may be transferred only in accordance with the law.
