Difference between collective and co-op

[SomethingGood]

So I know that a co-op needs to file as a non-profit with the state, obtain a seller's permit and business license depending where you live, but what does a collective need to do to establish itself in terms of paperwork needing to be submitted to the state? And for a co-operative in order to file an articles of incorporation, is there an application for that, or is that covered with the chapter by laws?

Read the Attorney General's opinion, Section IV subsection A (2) particularly as it relates to collectives not being a statutory entity as well as prop 215 then come back and we'll discuss it.

Hey, are you a city attorney?
