Plural of companies
What is the correct way to write Smith Co.'s founder?
Top answer
If your question is how to write out what you have there, only without the abbreviation of "Company", then you are talking about a possessive- not a plural. " This is for the singular word "company" made possessive, since the founder belongs to the company. If you want plural (more than one) company, then it would by " Smith Companies' founder ," meaning that there are 2 or more "Smith Companies" and you are referring to the person who founded them all.
