Co-operative Business Succession

Selling to your employees or community might be your best option!

Event Info

As thousands of baby-boomers prepare to retire from the small businesses they own, most will overlook one succession option; converting their enterprise into a co-operative.

Why not consider selling your business to those stakeholders that know it best and love and value it most - your consumers, employees, suppliers, or the community - and help to transition it into a co-operative?

This session will give you the resources to help make that happen.
