Who is it for?

Freelancers and small businesses in the creative and cultural sector

A large proportion of people working in the creative and cultural are freelancers or small businesses.  Forming a co-op with other creatives can be a way of doing your own work without being on your own. There is evidence that worker and employee-owned businesses are more productive and resilient than hierarchical organisations.


You will learn

  • What a co-op is and how they work
  • How the different types of co-ops can support creatives
  • Ways the co-op approach improves efficiency, transparency and equity
  • About free, bespoke consultancy for creatives interested in forming a co-op
