Foreign Business Trust: A North Dakota Business Trust can also be classified as a foreign business trust if it is established outside the state but chooses to operate or conduct business activities in North Dakota.

Public Business Trust: Unlike typical trusts, a Public Business Trust allows for the sale of units or shares to the public, similar to a publicly traded corporation or partnership. These trusts often fulfill specific regulatory requirements and may provide shareholders with additional rights and protections not available in other trust structures. 5. Private Business Trust: Unlike Public Business Trusts, Private Business Trusts limit the sale of units or shares to a smaller, restricted group of investors. These trusts are often favored by closely held businesses or family enterprises, seeking privacy and control over the trust's affairs. Establishing a North Dakota Business Trust requires following statutory requirements, which determine the governance, filing, and operational procedures. Prospective trustees should consult with legal and tax professionals to ensure compliance with all necessary regulations and to understand the specific implications and benefits of this trust structure.
