Do you mean a specific country’s “New Commercial Code”? (Many countries have recently updated commercial codes and the exact legal definition varies.) If you tell me the jurisdiction I can give the statutory text and commentary.
While you confirm, here is a concise, jurisdiction‑neutral definition and the common features you will usually find in a modern commercial code:
Definition (generic)
- A business organization is an association of one or more persons, or of persons and assets, formed to carry on commercial or economic activities for profit (or in some cases for mutual benefit), and recognised by law as a distinct economic unit. Business organizations may be natural persons (sole traders) or juridical persons (companies, partnerships, cooperatives, etc.) and are subject to registration, regulation and corporate governance rules in the commercial code.
Common categories typically listed in a commercial code
- Sole proprietorship / sole trader
- Partnerships (general partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships)
- Corporations / companies (private/public companies, joint-stock companies)
- Limited liability companies (LLC)
- Cooperatives
- Branches and representative offices of foreign enterprises
Typical legal attributes covered
- Legal personality (separate legal entity vs. no separate personality)
- Liability of owners (limited vs. unlimited)
- Formation and registration requirements (documents, minimum capital, registration authority)
- Governance and management (boards, managers, partners’ rights)
- Transferability of ownership interests and share capital rules
- Accounting, reporting and auditing obligations
- Dissolution, liquidation and insolvency rules
- Rules for foreign enterprises and cross‑border activity
If you tell me the country (for example: “New Commercial Code of [Country]”), I will provide the exact statutory definition and highlight any important differences from the generic description above.
