How To Set Up A Workers Co-op
Although useful for all start-up businesses, the guide is particularly aimed at non-hierarchical, consensus-based, autonomous groups, who wish to keep their businesses in common ownership rather than working solely for private profit.
Launched in June 2015, the publication has been a huge success, drawing praise from all sections of the co-op movement as an inspirational, accessible and comprehensive guide for those trying to set up sustainable trading collectives.
The guide was largely written by members of the Seeds for Change training collective and Footprint workers’ co-op, with advice and proof-reading support from several other parts of the co-op movement, particularly Co-operatives UK.
