What means Public limited company (N.V.)?

A public limited company (N.V.) is a type of business entity with legal personality whose capital is divided into freely transferable shares. This form of incorporation provides anonymity as there is no requirement to maintain a shareholder register. This makes the N.V. suitable for situations where shareholders prefer to remain anonymous. Shareholders' liability is limited to their contributions.
