What are the main categories of companies?

Legal analysis: The main types of companies are: joint venture, sole proprietorship, state-owned, private, ownership by the whole people, collective ownership, shareholding system, limited liability, etc.

Legal basis: Article 26 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Company Law states that the registered capital of a limited liability company is the capital contribution subscribed by all shareholders registered in the company registration authority.

Where laws, administrative regulations and decisions of the State Council have other provisions on the paid-in registered capital and the minimum registered capital of a limited liability company, those provisions shall prevail.
