Nonprofit Recording Co-op Business Plan


Gamehenge Tapers Co-op is a not-for-profit organization that was created to serve the Portland tapers community. The tapers community is a hobby based community that trades live recordings for personal use, never for commercial gain. The Co-op will provide the equipment required to tap these shows, which in turn supports the trade community (people who only trade these live shows). The Co-op sells recording equipment wholesale at a low overhead. It encourages active tapers to be more active by offering members heavily discounted rates. Because the organization operates as a non-profit cooperative, members will volunteer their time in order to help it succeed. 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 plans to increase their membership by at least 20% each year.

1.1 Objectives

The following objectives are set for the initial three years of operation

  • To establish a co-op with the primary goal of serving its members.
  • To increase the membership base annually by 20%
  • To offer Portland traders cost plus overhead deals on CD/R media, microphones CD/RWs and DAT recordsers.
  • To develop a sustainable co-op.

1.2 Mission

Gamehenge Tapers Co-op’ s mission is to serve the Portland tapers community. Our mission is to maintain and attract customers. This maxim will guide everything else. Our services will surpass the expectations of customers.
