Partnership/LLP capitalis/zed at ******* euros
Explanation:
No. Again, an S.E.L.A.R.L. is not a company but close to a limited partnership or an LLP, namely a hybrid of a partenership and a company.

I assume everyone knows the difference between an aordinary and limited partnership, a limited liability partnership and a limited company (US: corporation).

Example sentence(s):
  • Limited partnerships have both general partners and limited partners. The limited partners in the relationship are usually purely investors who do not have the same day-to-day responsibilities as the general partners.

neutral  Jennifer White: could you provide another reference to support this answer as neither of these seem to work.

  -> Here we go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_Liability_Partnerships... Let me know if I can do anything else for you.
agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Yup, and with reference to Daryo's comment, you have not avoided but indeed translated the notion of "société" with the term "partnership" in this instance.

agree  AllegroTrans: "partnership" (but not LLP) is OK for "société" but not for SELARL
