	Privately held company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term privately held company refers to ownership of a business company in two different ways—first, referring to ownership by non-governmental organizations; and second, referring to ownership of the company's stock by a relatively small number of holders who do not trade the stock publicly.
		Often, privately held companies are owned by the company founders and/or their families and heirs or by a small group of investors.
		Private companies may be called corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, sole proprietorships, business trusts, or other names, depending on where and how they are organized.
