Best Answer

Non-Profit Companies - These are companies that do not redistribute profits to shareholders or even to the owners. In their company goals, they discuss pursuing their corporate mission (i.e. Making another fundraiser, another public class, something that is for public good). Some examples of these are charitable organizations and most government agencies.

For-Profit Companies - These are companies that redistribute their profits to their shareholders (stock holders). These are companies that follow a corporate mission of making money for their shareholders and look out for themselves (more self interest). These types of companies can be public (trading stocks) or privately (solely owned by the owners) held.
