Co-operative Popular in agricultural sector. Can be for-profit or NFP. Democratic structure: each member has only one vote. Is a corporation.

Partnership Can be between individuals or other entities. Is a relationship that dissolves and re-forms when one partner leaves or a new partner is added. Has special taxation rules. To outsiders, each partner is 100% liable for partnership debt.

Joint Venture A contractual relationship. Usually of limited duration (sunsets). Can involve a SPV (special purpose vehicle) e.g. a company in which the partners own shares. IP issues: normally new IP will be owned by SPV – what happens when SPV is dissolved?
