Firmier

Firmier refers to a type of business ownership structure. It is commonly used in French-speaking countries and is similar in concept to a partnership or a limited liability company in other legal systems. The term "firmier" is derived from the French word "ferme," meaning farm, and historically, it was often associated with agricultural ventures. However, its application has broadened to encompass various commercial and professional endeavors.

In a firmier structure, multiple individuals or entities come together to operate a business. The key characteristic of a firmier is the shared responsibility and liability among its members. The exact legal framework and implications can vary depending on the specific jurisdiction's commercial code. Generally, a firmier allows for the pooling of resources, expertise, and capital to achieve common business objectives. It provides a legal framework for cooperation and profit-sharing among the founders or participants. The establishment and operation of a firmier typically involve a formal agreement outlining the rights, duties, and profit distribution among the members.
