A société civile is a non-profit company, or one whose primary purpose is not that of making a profit. The term has a specific status in French law, as my Wikipedia reference shows. I would translate "La société est de forme civile" as "The company is a 'société civile' (non-profit company)".

Thank you. That was my doubt. Whether to leave it as is or explain it or both. |
