2 Alternative Ways to Do Business
Franchises, cooperatives, and nonprofit organizations offer you other ways to do business.

3 Franchise A franchise is a contractual agreement to sell a company’s products or services in a designated geographic area.

4 Franchise To run a franchise you have to invest money and pay the franchisor an annual fee or a share of the profits. In return, the franchisor offers a well-known name and a business plan.

5 Franchise You can operate a franchise yourself, as a sole proprietor, as a partnership with someone else, or even as a corporation.

6 Franchise An advantage of opening a franchise is that it’s easy to start. The name of the parent company can be a big draw for customers.

7 Franchise The disadvantage of running a franchise is that the franchisor is often very strict about how the business is run.

8 Nonprofit Organization
A nonprofit organization is a type of business that focuses on providing a service rather than making a profit.

9 Nonprofit Organization
Like a corporation, a nonprofit organization has to register with the government and might be run by a board of directors.

10 Nonprofit Organization
Because it doesn’t make a profit, a nonprofit organization doesn’t have to pay taxes.

11 Nonprofit Organization
Donors don’t receive dividends like investors, but they can deduct their donations from their taxes.

12 Cooperative A cooperative is an organization owned and operated by its members for the purpose of saving money on the purchase of certain goods and services.

13 Cooperative A cooperative is like a corporation in that it exists as a separate entity from the individual businesses.

14 Cooperative A cooperative can sell stock and choose a board of directors to run it. Cooperatives pay less in taxes than regular corporations do.

15 Cooperative Cooperatives can save money by buying insurance, supplies, and advertising as a group.

21 Processors Processors change raw materials into more finished products. Processed goods are made from raw goods and may require further processing.

22 Manufacturers Manufacturers are businesses that make finished products out of processed goods. The finished products need no further processing and are ready for market.

23 Intermediaries An intermediary is a business that moves goods from one business to another. It buys goods, stores them, and then resells them.

24 Intermediaries A wholesaler, also known as a distributor, distributes goods.

25 Intermediaries Wholesalers buy goods from manufacturers in huge quantities and resell them in smaller quantities to their customers, usually other companies.

26 Intermediaries A retailer purchases goods from a wholesaler and resells them to the consumer, or the final buyer of the goods.

27 Service Businesses Service businesses provide services rather than goods. Services are the products of a skill or an activity, such as hairstyling and car repair.
