    Why co-ops?

    + +

    Co-operatives are businesses in many sectors and + in many sizes, but with one crucial difference: they are owned and + democratically controlled by their members. That means people in + the business, not external shareholders, set the direction and + share the value.

    + +

    CoTech coops are worker-owned co-operatives, meaning that the members are the workers. So the people delivering the projects co-own and control the business together.

    +
    + +
    + +
    +
    + +
    +
    +

    Cooperatives around the world are values-based + organisations, committed to the seven cooperative principles.

    + +

    Learn more about the seven co-operative + principles directly from Co-operatives UK.
