• Single-proprietorship business
• When applying the provisions of this Law, every
  economic activity whose capital is fully owned by
  one natural person or corporate entity is
  referred to as a sole proprietorship company.
• Investing Companies
• A firm whose capital is separated into

  may not be listed on a stock exchange. All of the
  company's shares must be subscribed to by the
  shareholders. Private shareholding businesses are
  controlled by the same rules that apply to
  shareholding pots, with the exception of those
  governing public subscription, listing, and
  trading.
• Company Holding
• A holding company is a sole proprietorship,
  limited liability, or shareholding business that
  has managerial and financial control over one or
  more other businesses. When the holding company
  owns at least (51) of the shares or stakes in
  the controlled firms, those companies become
  subsidiaries of the holding company.

• Limited Liability Company
• A limited liability firm has a minimum of two and
  a maximum of fifty partners. There must be a
  least three partners. Equal shares of the capital
  are allocated to each. A partner or partners

  a management board made up of at least three
  members. Its management may be delegated to third
  parties.
