In addition to providing access to free resources and our thoughts about how good co-operative skills can help make your co-operative a success, we provide training and consultancy services.
We are happy to discuss any request for support to help start a new co-operative enterprise or improve and grow an existing co-op, from legal structures, marketing, finances or “human resource” planning through to a whole business plan, however we have identified some key areas which we consider to be vital for effective co-operation and have created off the shelf packages that reflect them:
