At least in Western law, a company a legal entity, but that is just me being pendantic. More importantly, a company to me is something which has employees and is at least somewhat able to sustain them, even only by burning money. So I would not even count self-employment as having a company, only in the strictly legal sense. To me, you literally need company to have a company.
Edit: Still congratulations to you and thank you for sharing!
- jimnotgym 5y agoThis is a nonsense definition. You are describing an incorporated company as if it is the only kind. There are unincorporated companies, sole traders and partnerships turning over millions. No a company does not need employees.
- allendoerfer 5y agoYou do not give any new input. Everything you said has already been said. Except of course for calling my explanation nonsense, which unfortunately is not only rude, but also false. Natural language is not boolean algebra or legal text. Most people think of employees when they talk about a company. Hence the word company as in "having company". What most people think is what defines a word. That's how language works. Of course you can call selling a software (everything OP listed as sold can be classified as software) selling a company. I do not want to demean what OP did. If he were to insist on having sold a company and not a software project, it would just sound a bit like the guy on LinkedIn calling himself CEO of his company, while being self-employed working out of his basement. (Not that OP does any of that, again OP did great!)
