2. Partnership: A business owned and operated by two or more individuals who share the profits and liabilities.
3. Limited Liability Company (LLC): A business structure that combines the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability protection of a corporation.
4. Corporation: A legal entity separate from its owners, offering limited liability protection to its shareholders.
5. Nonprofit organization: An organization formed for purposes other than generating profit, such as charitable, educational, or religious activities.
6. Cooperative: A business owned and operated by a group of individuals who share the profits and decision-making.
7. Franchise: A business model in which an individual or group purchases the rights to operate a business under an established brand and system.
8. Limited Partnership (LP): A partnership that includes both general partners (responsible for business operations) and limited partners (providing capital but having limited liability).
