secret partnership

Explanation:
This is just a guess based on the following text.

The last type in this group is the sociedade em conta de participação (SCP), another form of secret partnership in which the sócio oculto (secret partner) is not a working partner, but usually an investor who prefers to remain unknown and assumes no liability for the partnership.
http://accurapid.com/journal/05money.htm

I have also found some hits with "undisclosed partnership" also meaning that the investors remain anonymous.

Do Aurélio:

Societário: (1) que faz parte de uma sociedade; associado, sócio. (2) Diz-se do animal que vive em sociedade; (3) membro de uma sociedade; sócio.

Assim, sigilo não diz respeito à sociedade (company) e sim aos sócios.
