Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung         
A Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (, abbreviated GmbH and also GesmbH in Austria; ) is a type of legal entity very common in Germany, Austria, Switzerland (where it is equivalent to a société à responsabilité limitée), and Liechtenstein. It is an entity broadly equivalent to the private limited company in the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries, and the limited liability company (LLC) in the United States.
GmbH         
Gesellschaft mit beschrnker Haftung
Gesellschaft mit beschrunker Haftung      
The GmbH (German, meaning: "limited liability company") is a corporation with separate legal personality. Its shareholders participate in the original share capital with their initial contributions but are not liable to the company's creditors. One person alone can form a limited liability company but legal entities may also be shareholders. The firm name of a limited liability company must either be derived from the purpose of its business or -- as in the case of limited partnerships -- from the name of the shareholder or a combination of both. It must always state "with limited liability" (mbH).

Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung

Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung [ɡəˈzɛlʃaft mɪt bəˌʃʁɛŋktɐ ˈhaftʊŋ], abbreviated GmbH [ɡeːʔɛmbeːˈhaː] in Germany and as Ges.m.b.H. in Austria, lit.'company with limited liability'. This is a common type of legal entity in both countries as well as in Switzerland, where it is equivalent to a société à responsabilité limitée, and Liechtenstein.

It is an entity broadly equivalent to the private limited company in the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries, and the limited liability company (LLC) in the United States. The name of the GmbH form emphasizes the fact that the owners (Gesellschafter, also known as members) of the entity are not personally liable or credible for the company's debts. GmbHs are considered legal persons under German, Swiss, and Austrian law. Other variations include mbH (used when the term Gesellschaft is part of the company name itself), and gGmbH (gemeinnützige GmbH) for non-profit companies.

The GmbH has become the most common corporation form in Germany because the AG (Aktiengesellschaft), the other major company form corresponding to a stock corporation, was much more complicated to form and operate until recently.
