• Community-Owned Corporation: A traditional, for-profit corporation that integrates social enterprise principles;
• Small Ownership Group: A small, ad hoc investor group that capitalizes and/or operates a business as a partnership or closely held corporation; and
• Investment Fund: A community-based fund that invests debt or equity in local business ventures." (http://cuttingedgecap.ning.com/forum/topics/article-on-communityowned?xg_source=activity)
