Is a cooperative right for you?
Posted: Tue 2nd Jun 2026
In this webinar, find out more about cooperatives, the benefits they offer and how to get a cooperative business off the ground.
Cooperative and community-owned businesses are run by their members to meet their shared needs.
Members have a say in how the cooperative is run, making it a fairer, more collaborative and democratic way of doing business.
Are you looking for an alternative business model? Is your business at the succession planning stage? Or are you looking for the right model for your startup?
Do you want it to be equitable, inclusive and empowering for everyone involved? Then the cooperative model might be right for you.
