French term or phrase: SARL au capital de 8000 €
From the "mentions légales" of a contract I'm translating into English. I'm not sure how to translate this, and I'm not sure it's something that usually appears on English contracts.

Limited Liability Company with an equity of 8000 €
Explanation:
A SARL is a company whose liability is limited to the contributions of its members.

The Law for economic initiative of the 1 (()) er in August 2003 has removed the minimum capital requirement of which was 7 500 €, so it is statutory to open a company with a capital of one euro. However, the share capital is a sign of confidence vis-à-vis banks and lenders or creditors. It is also an index for partners, because there will be more likely to do business with a company with a capital important because in case of problems, the partners are required to losses of benefits in the capital. However, the health of society is not properly rendered by the social capital and it is better to take cognizance of its accounts and balance sheets.

agree  B D Finch: Important to include the word "private", as an SA is a public limited liability company. The previous KudoZ answer was, therefore, unsatisfactory.
