Definition and Examples
- Definition
- Société anonyme (and variants in other languages; English: Anonymous society; shortened to S.A. or SA) designates a type of corporation in countries that mostly employ civil law. Depending on language, it means anonymous company, anonymous partnership, share company, or joint-stock company, roughly equivalent to a public limited company in common law jurisdictions. It is different from partnerships and private limited companies.
