Cooperative

The associative/cooperative model is trendy and attractive in many ways.

Charitable company

The question was considered on whether it would make sense to set up a "charitable" (Gemeinnützige) LLC to finance and administer development of a product. Whether a limited liability company is classified as a non-profit organisation depends on the decision of the competent tax authority. It would be best to ask them directly (i.e. Bern or Basel) which conditions have to be fulfilled (e.g. certain clauses in the articles of association) before founding a gGmbH company
