suurühing

A suurühing is a term in Estonian business law referring to a large company. While there is no precise legal definition based solely on size, the designation generally implies a company that meets certain thresholds for assets, revenue, or employee numbers. These thresholds are often used for statistical purposes by government agencies and for specific regulatory considerations, though they do not inherently alter the fundamental legal structure of the company itself.

The classification of a company as a suurühing can influence reporting requirements and access to certain state support programs. For example, statistical offices may categorize companies based on their size to analyze economic trends. Additionally, larger entities might be subject to more detailed financial reporting or have different obligations under employment law. However, the basic legal forms available to a suurühing are the same as for any other company, such as osaühing (limited liability company) or aktsiaselts (public limited company). The term is more of a descriptive category than a distinct legal status with unique rights or responsibilities.
