sociétés par intérêts

anglais translation: you may have to leave it out

traduction français vers anglais [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Entreprise / commerce
Terme ou expression en français : sociétés par intérêts
Les sociétés de personnes, dites parfois encore « sociétés par intérêts », sont toutes celles dont les associés s’unissent en considération de leur personnalité, parce qu’ils se font mutuellement confiance.

Traduction en anglais :you may have to leave it out
Explication :
Otherwise, it seems to me, you may end up with "partnerships, sometimes still called partnerships". Unless your text actually differentiates between the two, somehow? (In which case, perhaps a paraphrase such as "old-style partnerships" might be necessary).

Sometimes I find this, particularly in IT texts (OK, so I know it's not the same), where you get "<French term> also called <English term for same thing>". You just have to leave it out. Sometimes French has 2 terms where we only have one, and you just have to get round it....

You are right, Charlie - the text does not differentiate. It really only makes sense to include the term in French. Thanks!

sociétés par intérêts
partnership


Explication :
This first website (Canandia, bilingual) indicates that "sociétés par intérêts" is just another way of saying "partnership." The site below (FR only) explains the different legal statuses a company may have and explains (much like your text) that sociétés par intérêts is the same thing as a société de personne.

"company in kind"


Explication :
I think you need to leave the French.

However, you could (teleologically) interpret "par intérêts" as being a variation on the "société en participation", where the "participation" corresponds to each partner's contribution in kind of their work, rather than their capital.

So, by extension, the "interest" here is actually an interest deriving from their contribition in kind...

So how about "company in kind"?
