die GmbH, -s
Ltd. · GmbH · limited liability company
Das ist eine Firma, bei der die Besitzer nur mit dem Geld haften, das sie in die Firma gesteckt haben. Sie müssen nicht mit ihrem eigenen Vermögen zahlen, wenn die Firma Schulden hat.
"GmbH" stands for "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung," which is German for "company with limited liability." It is a type of legal corporate structure in German-speaking countries, comparable to the Ltd. (Limited) in the United Kingdom or LLC (Limited Liability Company) in the United States. The words that make up "GmbH" are "Gesellschaft" (company or society), "mit" (with), "beschränkter" (limited), and "Haftung" (liability). This corporate form limits the liability of the firm's partners to their investment in the company, protecting their personal assets from business debts and obligations.
