What is the difference between SAOC and SAOG?

SAOC and SAOG are joint-stock companies that can be either closed or opened. SAOC stands for Societe Anonymous Omanaise Close, and SAOG stands for Societe Anonyme Omanaise Generale. A joint-stock company is a company which is between a corporation and a partnership.

Three or more people can create a joint-stock company and issue stocks. Joint-stock companies have access to financial options and liquidity of a stock. In an open joint-stock, the shares issued may be sold to third parties.

On the contrary, in a closed joint-stock company, the allocation of shares must be exposed to other shareholder’s preemptive rights. The stocks may be traded or sold to third parties. SAOC’s are closed joint-stock companies, while SAOC’s are open joint-stock companies.

SAOC and SAOG are two types of joint companies. SAOC is an abbreviation for Societe Anonyme Omanaise Close. SAOG is an abbreviation for Societe Anonyme, Omanaise General. These companies are both based in Oman. SAOC is a closed company. When a joint company is closed, it means the shares that are allowed to be transferred are up to the shareholders. SAOG is an open joint company. With this company, the stocks are open, but if the company goes into any debt, that debt is left to the holders of the share. Another difference between them is that SAOG requires more capital than SAOC.
