What does MChJ mean in Uzbekistan?

One formThree names for it — MChJ in Uzbek, OOO in Russian, LLC in English; the registry records the Latin Uzbek form
EntityWhat the form is — a legal entity from state registration, capital divided into shares, shareholders’ risk limited to their contributions (LLC Law, Arts. 3–4 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

MChJ abbreviates mas’uliyati cheklangan jamiyat — the limited liability company in the state language. It is the same form Russian documents call OOO and English ones call LLC: a company founded by one or more persons, its charter capital divided into shares, taking legal personality on state registration and answering for its obligations with its own property while the shareholders risk only their contributions. (LLC Law, Arts. 3–5 — lex.uz ↗)

The names travel together in practice: the registry records the Latin Uzbek form, and the bank, tax filings and invoices each lean on a different one of the three. The full registered name must state the form in words; the short name may use the MChJ abbreviation. (LLC Law, Art. 5 — lex.uz ↗)
