Trades Register


Explanation:
trades register in Bridge's Legal Dictionary

AND

From a high-quality translation of Article L. 123-1 of the French Commercial Code:
"1° Natural persons with the status of trader, even if they are required to
register in the trades register;
..."

French version:
"1° Les personnes physiques ayant la qualité de commerçant, même si elles sont tenues à immatriculation au répertoire des métiers ;"

Just for future reference.

I personally would give the term capitals.

Compare with Register of Trade & Companies.
