Cooperative Business Startup Kit

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

The page helps you choose a cooperative type, understand key legal and governance steps, and get a starter pack of templates. It includes a quick comparison of worker, consumer, and producer co-ops, common mistakes, and a short FAQ.

Select a cooperative type from the dropdown or preset cards. The page shows a tailored step list, governance notes, and a sample member agreement.

You can download a text summary or copy it to your clipboard. Use the comparison table to decide which type fits your group.
