public company and non-public company société ouverte // société fermée

Explanation:
On dira de la société qui est coté en Bourse que c'est une SOCIÉTÉ OUVERTE, alors que celle qui ne l'est pas est une SOCIÉTÉ FERMÉE.

Société fermée : Se dit d'une entreprise dont le capital n'est pas ouvert au public, et n'est donc pas coté en bourse. (voir www.edubourse.com › Guide Bourse › Lexique Bourse )

Example sentence(s):

L’expression « se transformer en société ouverte » désigne le processus d’émission d’actions au public dans le cadre d’un prospectus ou par l’intermédiaire d’une prise de contrôle inversée ou d’un autre processus entraînant la divu
En apparence, le passage d'une société fermée à une société ouverte est assez simple : une société « entre en Bourse » lorsqu'elle vend des titres au grand public pour la première fois.
