And "trading company", to put it bluntly, is "leather bag company". There are business channels and no production capacity. Is to find a factory to produce and process, and earn the price difference in the middle. For example, an ashtray, the ex-factory price is one yuan, and the trading company sells it to his customer 1.2 yuan, and that 20 cents is his profit. This kind of company usually rents an office in an office building and runs its own business. The nature of a trading company is the same as that of a trading company. The general company name is xx Trading Co., Ltd. Now the company law stipulates that the minimum registered capital of wholesale and retail is 30,000 yuan, but it needs two shareholders. If it is a shareholder, the minimum registered capital is100000 yuan. According to China's company law, companies are divided into limited liability companies and joint stock companies. Corresponding to the limited liability company is the unlimited liability company a long time ago, but now there is no such company in China, and as far as I know, there are not many foreign companies. The abbreviation of limited liability company is called limited company. There is no substantial difference between a limited company and a limited liability company. According to the company law of our country, "company" in our country refers to limited liability companies and joint stock limited companies established in our country according to this law. 1. Limited liability company, referred to as limited company for short. Shareholders are liable to the company to the extent of their capital contribution, and the company is liable to the company's debts with all its assets. According to the Company Law, such companies must indicate the words "limited liability company" or "limited company" in the company name. 2. A joint stock limited company, referred to as a joint stock company for short, has all its capital divided into equal shares. Shareholders are liable to the company to the extent of their shares, and the company is liable to its debts with all its assets. According to the Company Law, such companies must indicate the words "Limited by Share Ltd" or "Limited by Share Ltd" in their company names. Whether it is a limited company or a joint-stock company, their biggest feature is that shareholders' responsibility to the company is limited and limited by their capital contribution. That is to say, when the company's assets are insufficient to repay the debts owed, shareholders do not have to bear joint and several liability for repayment, that is, they do not need to pay debts for the company. Compared with limited liability companies (including limited companies and joint-stock companies), an unlimited liability company means that shareholders bear unlimited joint and several liabilities for the company and its debts. In other words, if the company can't repay its debts, the shareholders should bear the responsibility for repayment. In China, it is not allowed to set up unlimited liability companies, but it is allowed to set up unlimited liability enterprises, such as sole proprietorships and partnerships. These enterprises are not independent legal persons, so they cannot become companies, and the owners of enterprises directly bear unlimited corporate responsibilities. In addition, there is another company, called a joint venture company. Some shareholders have limited liability to the company, while others have unlimited liability to the company. Therefore. These two kinds of companies have the characteristics of limited company and unlimited company. Similarly, in our country, joint ventures are not allowed. Therefore, a limited liability company and a limited company are the same thing. In addition, after industrial and commercial registration, the company name is protected by law, and the name approved by the administrative department for industry and commerce should be used in daily business activities. You can't change, add or subtract any words. For example, ABC Co., Ltd. cannot be called ABC Limited Liability Company, and conversely, DEF Limited Liability Company cannot be called DEF Limited Liability Company, otherwise it will be regarded as two different companies in law.
