Public limited company and Co-operative organization .

A public limited company (legally abbreviated to plc with or without full stops) is a limited liability company that sells shares to the public in United Kingdom company law, in the Republic of Ireland and Commonwealth jurisdictions. It can be either an unlisted or listed company on the stock exchanges. However, certain public limited companies (mostly nationalised concerns) incorporated under special legislation are exempted from bearing any of the identifying suffixes. Some companies in Finland, referred to as "Osakeyhtiö (julkinen)" in Finnish, are called "plc"s in English, which is nothing more but a direct translation of the fact that an "Oyj" is a company listed on the stock exchange

A cooperative (also co-operative or co-op) is a business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit.[1] A cooperative is defined by the International Cooperative Alliance's Statement on the Cooperative Identity as "an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise".[2] A cooperative may also be defined as a business owned and controlled equally by the people who use its services or by the people who work there. Various aspects regarding cooperative enterprise are the focus of study in the field of cooperative economics.
