Talk:Private limited company by shares

I would have thought that most companies would have been the smaller proprietary companies. This is true in Australia.

Propreitary Limited (Pty Ltd) does not exist as a company form in the UK and Ireland. The main types of incorporated company are private limited companies (as discussed here) and public limited companies. There's also companies limited by guarentee, and the UK has limited liabillity partnerships, but Ireland doesn't. Private limited companies are by far the majority in either case.--83.70.58.4 17:13, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Contrast with plcs

Not all public companies, by any means, are listed on exchanges. In legal terms the change to a plc simply enables one to list subsequently, though often becoming public and listing are done at the same time. I have tweaked the article to reflect this.

This article has the wrong title

A company of this type is called a "private company limited by shares", not a "private limited company by shares". No? Unless anyone objects I will swap the redirect. 84.13.1.9 21:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tidied

I've tidied the article up a bit, it no longer has block capital titles, and all the sections are listed in the Table of Contents. Matwilko 22:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
