Business Franchise

A Cooperative is a business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals for their shared benefits.

With 3 main categories: Consumers or purchasing cooperatives

These Cooperatives make large purchases so that they can sell it to their members at a reduced price. Most of these cooperatives requires their members to pay a fee or work a few hours per year.

Ex: Sam’s Club. Service cooperatives

Credit unions or financial cooperatives lend money to their members at reduced rates. They perform services like health care, legal help or even babysitting.

Producer cooperatives Allow members to farm while the co-ops market the goods for the

highest price. These Cooperatives help farmers focus on farming and raising livestock while making sure their products are sold.

Cooperative Organizations

A non-profit organization is a group organized for purposes other than generating profit and in which no part of the income is distributed to its members, directors, or officers.

Non-profit organizations must be designated as non-profit when created and might only pursue purposes permitted by statutes for non-profit organizations.

Non-profit entities are organized under state law. For federal tax purposes, an organization is exempt from

taxation if it is organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, public safety, literary, educational, prevention of cruelty to children or animals, and/or to develop national or international sports.

Social security tax is also currently optional although 80% of the organizations elect to participate.

Non-Profit Organization

Professional Organizations work to improve the image, working conditions, and skill levels

of people in particular occupations. Ex: National Education Association for public school and college.

Business associations promote the collective business interests of a city, state, or

other geographical area, or group of similar businesses. Ex: Your state’s or city’s chamber of commerce works to attract new businesses to your area

Trade Associations are non-profit organizations that promote the interest s of

particular industries. Ex: America’s Marketing Association works to improve marketers’ and their marketing firms’ image.
