The co-operative business model is unique. Co-op developers and owners require a distinct set of knowledge and information to start, launch, operate and grow successful co-op businesses.

The BCCA’s knowledge centre is the go-to hub for co-op sector information in BC. We deliver education, publications and research to deeper your understanding of the co-op business model, and practical tools and advice you can use immediately to add value to your co-op. We also connect you with, and lead you to, other credible co-op education and funding resources you can reach out to, to extend your co-op community.
