OPISAC uses strategic partnerships to allow investors to focus on making money, as it should be.
Investors must retain the ability to focus on their primary goals, and not be burdened by additional laws or other constraints that may inhibit their ability to generate financial gains.
Not-for-profits that run commercial ventures are subject to numerous laws. This may initially concern potential investors if they are not fully aware of how this system works. Strategic partnerships ensure that investments in individual commercial operations remain the same as they would for any similar investment with any competent partner.
Only the portion of the business owned by OPISAC under the incorporated banner is subject to the laws specific for not-for-profits and the UBIT or Unrelated Business Income Tax.
If the business is wholly owned by OPISAC, then the entire enterprise is subject to UBIT and related laws of operations.
These laws do not apply to strategic partnerships and the other owners of or investors in any business operations.
These laws and restrictions only apply to the proceeds generated for and on behalf of OPISAC.
When there are strategic partnerships with only one partner, proceeds generated for and on behalf of that partner are not subject to any additional laws or restrictions.
If there are strategic partnerships with ten business partners, none of the proceeds generated for and on behalf of those ten partners are subject to any additional laws or restrictions.
The OPISAC Incorporation and UBIT Structure
OPISAC owns an incorporated entity established through the process of Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) compliance.
This incorporation creates a legal framework under which multiple commercial ventures operate utilizing the standard principles of incorporation. These individual commercial ventures exist and operate, at least in part, under the umbrella of the incorporated entity.
This structure allows OPISAC to manage multiple commercial ventures efficiently and legally. It also provides clarity in governance and financial management.
For the investors and strategic partnerships in individual commercial enterprises, they invest, work, and earn the same as they would in any traditional business.
Their primary focus should be only to ensure business ventures make money and generate gains for their shareholders.
Investor Accountability and Freedom
Investors can participate as strategic partners with the OPISAC foundation.
Under this model, investors do not hold accountability under the same laws that govern the incorporated entity. Neither does any portion of any individual commercial venture under their ownership and/or control.
This separation protects investors from direct legal liabilities related to OPISAC operations.
Investors have the freedom to focus on their business activities.
They can concentrate on generating profits for their shareholders as they should.
This freedom allows investors to operate with confidence and clarity, knowing that OPISAC manages the regulatory and operational responsibilities associated with their active participation in and ownership of commercial interests operating for a profit.
