Is it a limited company or a joint stock company?

Limited company is the abbreviation of limited company, which means limited company. The "."after "Co" and "Ltd" means that words are shortened and omitted, and ""is a separator used to distinguish the two words before and after.

In fact, limited company is commonly used in China, and the abbreviation of international standard is limited Ltd. Ltd comes from the word limited, which means "limited" in English. However, for hundreds of years, limited companies in English-speaking countries in Europe and America have omitted co and ended directly with Ltd, so now the correct simplification of the English name of limited companies in the world is Ltd.
