Definitions of Quoted And Unquoted Companies And Distinctions - SS1 Economics Lesson Note

Quoted and unquoted companies are terms used to differentiate between companies that have their shares listed on a stock exchange (quoted companies) and those that do not (unquoted companies).

A quoted company is a company whose shares are listed on a stock exchange, allowing members of the public to buy and sell them. These shares are typically traded electronically on the stock exchange, and their value can fluctuate depending on various factors, such as the company's financial performance, market conditions, and investor sentiment.

On the other hand, an unquoted company is a company whose shares are not listed on a stock exchange. Unquoted companies can still have shareholders, but the process of buying and selling their shares is typically less straightforward than with a quoted company.
