A cooperative, a viable and sustainable project

Thanks to the pooling of resources and expertise of their members, cooperatives have a higher survival rate than other types of businesses. For example, in Quebec, after only 5 years of operation, 62% of cooperatives are still in business compared to only 35% of other types of organizations. A statistic that speaks to the strength of this business model.

Our free webinar « Going into business as a cooperative » is the perfect opportunity for you to ask our experts all the questions you might have. After our training, you will be able to fully realize that with the cooperative business model, it is the strength of the group that makes the difference.

During the webinar several topics will be addressed, including:

  • What is a cooperative?
  • The principles of cooperation
  • Why choose the cooperative model
  • The 5 types of cooperatives
