Monthly Coop Business Support

A monthly meet-up for anyone curious about, starting, or already running a cooperative business. Swing by for a chat, stay for the whole two hours, or just pop in for 20 minutes.

Hosted and facilitated by Caleb (Principle Six) a certified co-operative development adviser with Co-operatives UK and Principle Six.

Who’s it for?

• Folks exploring the cooperative business model
• New and existing coops of any types
• Coops with a specific knot to untangle in their business

What happens?

Open conversation, practical pointers, and peer connection. Topics include:

• Legal structure & governance questions
• Business planning and finance basics
• Member / people management
• Fundraising routes
• Signposting to resources, support, and networks
• Matchmaking with like-minded co-ops and collaborators

Leave with clear next steps, a couple new contacts, and a better sense of where to find support in the UK's coop ecosystem.

There’s a community lunch at SPACE4 1-2pm the same day — register separately to grab a spot here.
