39As regards, more particularly, the fact that serviced residences operated with a view to profit, such as that operated by LJJ, do not receive any public assistance or any public financial support, it should be observed, first, that since the word ‘organisation’ is in principle sufficiently broad to encompass private entities carrying out activities with a view to profit (judgment in Zimmermann, C‑174/11, EU:C:2012:716, paragraph 57), the fact that LJJ carries out its activities for such a purpose in no way precludes the classification of that company as an ‘other organisation recognised as charitable by the Member State concerned’ within the meaning of Article 13A(1)(g) of the Sixth Directive. Secondly, although it is apparent from the case-law cited in paragraph 35 of the present judgment that the fact that the cost of the supplies provided may be largely borne by health insurance schemes or by social security bodies may be one of the factors to be taken into consideration in order to determine whether the organisation concerned is charitable, that fact, as the Advocate General observed at point 30 of his Opinion, is only one factor among others. Therefore, the lack of public financial support does not in itself exclude such recognition, since that must be assessed in the light of all the relevant factors of the present case.
