French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Company registration (Switzerland)
French term or phrase: avant. partic., resp., vers. suppl.
These abbreviations are from the following line on the "Extrait sans radiations" form issued by the Swiss Companies Registration Office:

Apports en nature, reprises de biens, compensation de créances, **avant. partic., resp., vers. suppl.**

Please, no wild guesses! And please, moderators, don't tell me to enter each abbreviation as a separate term, these are integral to each other!

@Asker: I know. It's why I only posted 3 confidence. It seems to be their official translation (the second ref is from a different Canton/city). Their own translations aren't always great. The German may be clearer than the French, which may well be a translation of the German. The joys of translating Swiss docs....

Notes to answerer
Asker: Extremely helpful, many thanks

Asker: "compensation of indebtedness" doesn't sound right however, I am inclined to think this would be better translated as "offsetting of receivables"


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Charles Davis: This neutral is NOT critical of you, but "before particip." in that version, official or not, is plain wrong, as the German shows. Presumably done by a machine or an inattentive human.

  -> That's why I included the German. "official" Swiss translations/attempted translation into Eng are often dodgy...... The German is much clearer. The same fun happens with official Dutch translations that end up as "Dunglish" And with Belgian docs..
