What type of ownership does tesco have?

Answer 1

== Tesco's Ownership which is owned by several partners, Tesco is owned by thousands of people. This is because Tesco is a public limited company or Plc. The reason for Tesco being a Plc is because of its mammoth size. Due to its size it would be hard to raise enough funds for Tesco if it was owned by a sole trader or by partners whereas in a Plc (like Tesco) the company is owned by shareholders who fund the company. This happens by the people buying shares in the company and becoming shareholders. Sometimes this may seem more appealing to the people investing in a company as they have the luxury of having limited liability. Limited liability is where if the business goes bankrupt the people only lose whatever they invested in the business this is common with Plc's, Ltd's (Private limited company) Unlimited liability applies to soul traders and partnerships if one of these went bankrupt they could loose all their personal assets over it and the money they put into it.
