What is &co.


This query is : Resolved 

23 December 2009 Please tell me Why we write &co. in case of properietory firm. for e.g.xyz & co.
or xyz & Associates ? What is it ? Whether it is compulsory ? Does it require any registration ?
Thanks

23 December 2009 The phrase "& Co" and "& Associates" are used alike "The" in English.

Whenever The is used it means it is defined somewhere already.

Whenever & Co and & Asso. is used it means these are business organisations.

It is not compulsory that whenever you run a business; you must use these words.

No registration is necessary to use these particular phrase at the time of selection of name of the firm/enterprise.
