Private company

Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-003912

A business entity whose shares are not offered to the general public and are not traded on a public stock exchange. Ownership is held by a small number of shareholders, such as founders, family members, or a group of investors. Because they are not publicly traded, these companies are subject to fewer reporting and disclosure requirements under securities laws like the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
