“One and only way to abbreviate Company”
According to a proper research, I came to know that there is only one way to abbreviate the word ‘company’. The only abbreviation for company is co.
If you come across the plural form of company, just remember to add an –s after its abbreviation to make it pluralized. So, the plural term would be cos.
Now, I will define company and use this particular word in sentences. After that, I will let you know some suitable areas to use its abbreviation.
Meaning of Company with Definition
This particular word is used as a noun or a verb within a sentence. The Cambridge Dictionary gives company meaning (as a noun) as an organization that sells goods or services in order to make money; or the fact of being with a person or people. As a verb, company means to associate with.
For example,
1. I always enjoy my friend’s company.
2. The company is about to launch a new product.
3. I always company you on your journeys.
Suitable Areas to use Co. for Company
Use of co. instead of the complete spelling of company in general prose or essays is not acceptable. So, avoid using this abbreviation in prose or essay writings. Unlike prose or essays, you can abbreviate the term company on a nameplate or any business invitation cards.
You might have seen this abbreviation for company to refer companies and firms or their official signage. Beside this, in the areas where you have a limited space, such as in headlines or newspaper headings, you can use co. for company.
For example,
• Central Glass Co., Ltd.
Conclusion
It is concluded that co. is the only way to abbreviate company. The plural form can be cos. i.e. just by adding an –s after the whole term.
