Having + p.p. after "since" phrase
Hi. Please help. I think the number 1 sentence indicates the business being in operation but the number 2 sentence indicates his having stopped playing for the team. Why is that when the structures involved seem identical (as having + p.p.)?
1. Having been in business since 19XX, we continue to offer quality services.
2. Having played for our team since 19XX, he moved on to play for another team in another state.
Also, do the following sentences mean basically the same?
1. Having been in business since 19XX, we continue to offer quality sevices.
2. Being in business since 19XX, we continue to offer quality sevices.
3. In business since 19XX, we continue to offer quality sevices.
I am sorry, but could you help me further, is this correct? Let's say the letters XXXX represent the name of a certain company. Thank you in advance.
XXXX, a well-known establishment having been in business since 19XX, has been providing quality services.
