Type of Commerce
For-profit:
A for-profit or commercial venture is created and remains viable due to the desire to sell something for a profit. This product may be a good or a service
Non-profit:
A non-profit venture is created and remains viable as a result of a desire to improve the quality of life for a group. A person founding a non-profit may be considered a social entrepreneur, since he or she is motivated by the desire to have an impact on society instead of earning money. Non-profits often dedicate themselves to social issues such as environmental concerns, animal rights, unemployment, health care, and advocacy for underserved groups such as senior citizens and women.
