Société Anonyme

A Société Anonyme (SA) is a type of corporate legal structure commonly used in many countries, similar to a public limited company. It is a separate legal entity from its owners, meaning it has its own rights and responsibilities. Shareholders own the company through shares, and their liability is limited to their investment. An SA can raise capital by issuing shares to the public and is often used for larger businesses that require significant funding. This structure provides a degree of protection to investors and allows the company to operate professionally and transparently.
