  1. co-op

    A co-op, or cooperative, is a business organization or enterprise owned and operated by a group of individuals who share in the profits and benefits. These individuals are typically members who use the co-op's services or products. The primary goal of a co-op is to meet the common needs and aspirations of its members, rather than to generate profit. Examples of co-ops include worker co-ops, consumer co-ops, housing co-ops, and many more. Co-ops operate under principles such as voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, member economic participation, and concern for the community.
