The document outlines different types of business organizations including sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, cooperatives, and non-profit organizations. It describes key characteristics of each type such as ownership structure, funding sources, legal registration requirements, tax treatment, and advantages and disadvantages. Corporations require heavy capital investment, have limited liability, and can easily transfer ownership through share trading on public markets. Cooperatives are democratically controlled enterprises where members pool resources for mutual benefit. Non-profits focus on improving lives rather than profit and rely on donations, grants, and other fundraising.
