Cooperatives are for people with any level of background, skill set, or financial means. Combining forces to form worker-owned businesses or member-owned purchasing cooperatives is a way for anyone to increase visibility and scale and therefore opportunity to better compete for business in todays climate and especially in many of the new development initiatives in the regions communities.
