04 Mar Nonprofit Recording Co-op Business Plan
Gamehenge Tapers Co-op a non-profit organisation that was formed to serve Portland's tapers community. Tapers are a hobby-based community that trades recordings for personal and non-commercial use. This community will be provided with equipment by the Co-op to help them tap shows. This in turn supports the trading community (people who trade live shows for their own personal use only). The Co-op sells recording equipment wholesale at a low overhead. It encourages members to tap more by offering them heavily discounted rates. Members volunteer their time to support the co-op and make the organization successful. The organization exists to support the trading community.
The organization will be able to pay membership dues as well as a small overhead charge to cover its costs and allow it to grow slowly. Gamehenge Tapers Co-op intends to increase its membership by at most 20% per annum.
1.1 Objectives
The following are the goals for the first 3 years of operation:
- To create a cooperative that serves its members as the #1 goal.
- To increase membership by 20% per year.
- Provide Portland traders with overhead and cost-plus deals on CD-R media.
- To develop a sustainable co-op.
1.2 Mission
Gamehenge Tapers Co-op' s mission is to serve the Portland tapers community. We exist to bring in and keep customers. Everything else will follow this principle. Our services will exceed our customers' expectations.
