I think joint stock company is the same as aktiebolag. Merge, anyone? bbx 06:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Before you do that, there are articles:

• Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH; limited liability company)
• Public limited company (the corresponding concept in the UK and in Ireland)
• S. A. (the corresponding concept in France, Spain and other Romanic countries)
• Naamloze Vennootschap (the corresponding concept in the Netherlands)
• Aktiengesellschaft
• Osakeyhtiö (the corresponding concept in Finland)

The point of this article is to explain what "Ab" stands for in corporate names, which is, I guess, how you arrived here.

Let's not forget; these articles could well be expanded to include, amongst others, the history of the concept of corporate business in their respective countries, given time and some knowledgable editors.--TVPR 13:40, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

The Swedisk term AB is not literally a translation of the Noerwegian A/S, or vice versa. AB litarally means "stock company" and A/S "stock group"
