Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: close company
Kontext:
Gesellschaftsvertrag einer "private limited company" (Aktiengesellschaft) in England und Wales

The directors may at any time require any person whose name is entered in the register of members of the Company to furnish them with any information, supported (if the directors so require) by a statutory declaration, which they consider necessary for the purpose of determining whether or not the Company is a ***close Company*** within the meaning of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

Ist das eine geschlossene Handelsgesellschaft? Bin hier unsicher, da es zu diesem Begriff kaum Treffer gibt und ich keine Definition gefunden habe. Bin für ein schnelles Feedback dankbar, da ich gleich abgeben muss.
