Bus/Financial - Finance (general) | | Spanish term or phrase: propietario / dueño | La frase es: "Los gestores compran la empresa a sus actuales propietarios, pasando a ser ellos mismos los nuevos dueños de la empresa."
No sé cómo indicar la distincion entre “propietarios” y “dueños" aquí – tal vez uno sea “owner” y el otro “trustee”? Cualquier consejo me ayuda mucho! Gracias. |

| | proprietor/owner | Explanation:
At least in the US, it is more common to use proprietary as an adjective and "proprietor" as the noun.
From the link below:
Proprietary indicates that a party, or proprietor, exercises private ownership, control or use over an item of property, usually to the exclusion of other parties.

Here's the definition of "proprietary" as a NOUN (go figure!):
Main Entry: 1pro·pri·e·tary
Function: noun
1 : one that possesses, owns, or holds exclusive right to something; specifically : PROPRIETOR 1
2 : something that is used, produced, or marketed under exclusive legal right of the inventor or maker; specifically : a drug (as a patent medicine) that is protected by secrecy, patent, or copyright against free competition as to name, product, composition, or process of manufacture
3 : a business secretly owned by and run as a cover for an intelligence organization

But as most of you have noted, "proprietor/owner" should fit just fine in Sert's translation ... |
