SCA, or “societe en commandite par actions,” a stock partnership prevalent in France, which allows for two different categories of shareholders.

An SCA has two types of shareholders, general partners with “unlimited liability” for the company’s debts and whose voting rights are not freely transferable, and limited partners whose liability is limited to their initial investment and who are represented by the supervisory board
