French term

parts d'industrie

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Articles of association
Hello,
This comes from the articles of association of a French company. It seems to refer to shares allocated in return for professional and technical assistance, I just wondered whether they had a particular name or whether it just means company shares. Thanks for any help!
Par décision prise en vertu d'une décision collective extraordinaire des associés, de nouvelles parts d'industrie peuvent être créées au cours de la vie sociale en vue de leur attribution gratuite à un ou plusieurs nouveaux associés afin de rémunérer leurs connaissances techniques et professionnelles, leur travail et leur savoir-faire.

A contribution in-kind is not exactly the same as a sweat equity as defined below by Investopedia:

Thanks Cyril

Search "apport en industrie", it's been asked several times with varying results.
Cyril Tollari Aug 27, 2020:
part d'industrie is shorter for "parts sociales attribuées en rémunération d'un apport en industrie". It's not a simple company share.

yes I would be tempted to go with the straight forward "company shares", because of the very clear surrounding context. Also being awarded shares for "know-how" isn't sweat equity as such. Sounds more like a general "free share award scheme" for various purposes but again the text gives a good explanation.
Anne Greaves (asker) Aug 27, 2020:
Yes I think you're right, the context does make it clear what they are for

I updated my post, thanks

Thanks Julie, have just found "sweat equity shares" on the internet. Think you might be right.
Julie Barber Aug 27, 2020:
at first sight, I would also have said "company shares" (which is what they are) but it does seem that there is a further meaning if you look at previous entries: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/business-commer... and this in English https://focusedforbusiness.com/sweat-equity-is-it-worth-it/. The question is, do they need a special name in your translation as the surrounding explanation makes it clear what they are for. Also, when the shares are created I am not sure that you can give them a name for this purpose. It's possible that they are simple regular company shares that are then allocated for this use if that makes sense.

Thanks John.

I tend to think you are right, be it only because I cannot figure out anything else...!!!
