peer agreement (net): +6
peer agreement (net): +6business/company/firm or entreprise Explanation: although it is difficult to make a clear distinction I will try based on my specialist knowledge. Societa would stand for a registered company which can be a public or private limited company by shares or limited liability company-although there are other denominations and types as well. So it is "a for profit association-"- or a society or "commercial society"- which translates into company or if it's bigger a corporation. Azienda would stand for a general business which can be large as a stock company but also small ,having different forms of association including family entreprises-where only family members can be hired, sole propretorships, partnerships. The firm is also a general term entreprise seems to be more often used for smaller firms although denominations like public entreprise are also common. So I hope the above choice can help you. |
