Everyone is a leader here. We must all have a say on how our cooperative is run next year and beyond. That’s why we encourage you to propose a business plan. Use this tool to work out the kind of decisions that must be made, talk to colleagues to gauge their needs and vision, put together ideas and submit, alone or together with others, your proposed business plan. Then, after your submission, study others’ proposed plans and get ready to participate in the synthesis of all the submitted plans into the cooperative’s actual business plan. Together, we crowdsource our future.

This practical tool allows you to craft your proposal for an Annual Comprehensive Cooperative Business Plan (CCBP). You'll be planning the budget, deciding how much the cooperative should borrow to expand, and navigating important trade-offs.
