The limited company
“Ltd”
It is possible to create a public limited company. The main advantage regarding this legal form is the ease with which the shares are transferable. This type of company must have at least 7 shareholders.
Its share capital is not necessarily fully paid up to the constitution, but only a quarter of the cash contribution must be paid at that time. The rest can be released over 5 years.
The limited company must appoint an auditor for the constitution of the company for a term of 3 years. It is administered by a board of directors composed of at least three members and twelve members at most.
The Limited Liability
Company “LLC”
The limited liability company consists of the contributions of at least two partners and not more than 50 associates.
The responsibility of each partner is limited to his contribution to the capital.
It is the most common form of society and the most adopted in Tunisia, particularly because of its low operating costs and the simplicity of its procedures.
In addition, the shares are not freely transferable to third parties outside the company with the express consent of the majority of partners.
