ABOUT CooPs

Cooperatives are a rapidly growing sector and are proven to boost the economy of a local region or community. Buyer-cooperatives consist of businesses and entrepreneurs who “chip in” or get a group bulk discount on services and products. Worker-cooperatives are business enterprises that are owned, operated and governed by their employees.
