Private limited company and Joint stock company Explanation: This would entirely depend upon the context. Both 'anpartselskab' and 'aktieselskab' are Limited companies and so if you are actually translating the word you need to distinguish. An 'anpartsselskab' is smaller than an 'aktieselskab' and does not need so much captial to set up. Dansk - Engelsk okonomisk ordbog Politikens Retskrivning og betydningsordbog |
