Trading for Mutual Benefit: A Guide to Co‑operative Consortia
Sole traders and other small businesses can work together co‑operatively to enhance their trade through joint activities such as purchasing and marketing. This approach - known as a co‑operative consortium - can save money, spread risk, and enables the participating businesses to pool their resources, provide mutual support and learning and strengthen their sector, while maintaining their business independence.
Co‑operative Consortia are one of the most rapidly growing sectors of the UK co‑operative movement, and in recognition of this we have published this new guide, entitled Trading for Mutual Benefit.
Funded by the Innovation & Development Fund through the Co‑operativesUK New Ventures Panel, copies and more information are available from Helen Seymour.
