we need a new type of structure, market-oriented, profit-making, but not profit-maximising.

Profit is only necessary (should only occur) during Growth - for it measures the Payer's lack of ownership in the Means of Production, and can be 'balanced' by treating that overpayment as an investment from that Payer toward even more Means of Production - so that each User gains the Use-Value property needed for them to finally stop buying Product, but instead be paying (whether with Sources or Skills) the Costs of that Production "up front" while avoiding that usual final transaction of purchase. This causes Profit to be not just zero, but actually UNDEFINED since each User/Owner does not need to buy what he already owns.
