French term or phrase: enseigne

Related to category management. I've seen trade name and label, but I'm not sure that is correct. Is it possible to translate as 'brand'?
Thanks for your help

the "name", the "company", the "business" - see explanation

Explanation:
Hi,

It's also used with the meanings I gave. E.g. I was interested in a special type of business startup loan and was told only "les grandes enseignes" do it - i.e. in this case SocGen, BNP, Creagri, Credit Mutuel ... (not my little private bank though).

For the context you gave us, I think company/business fits better than brand, but perhaps the rest of your text dictates that it is not company, I don't know. I thought I would let you know of the existence of this option.

trade.. emphasizes the legal aspect, the exclusive rights of the maker or owner, while brand name insists on the specificity of the product and its customer appeal.

Guereau: I agree with "business". It has nothing about a "name", you can find such sentences as "produit vendu sous l'enseigne Casino" (or Carrefour or whatever)

2 hrs

neutral

Helen D. Elliot (X): The "banner" may belong to an existing company that was purchased in which an interest was purchased along with certain rights, including advertising under that banner. Of course a company may acquires 100% of another such entity. but it's not always syn.

Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "Corporate / business name" and/or "company/business" where appropriate elsewhere in the document.
