Consortium Cooperative Model

Consortium co-operative are organisations run on a shared and equal way by, and for the benefit of, their members. Members may be businesses, partnerships or individuals, and the co-operative may be for any purpose that supports the members – typically buying, selling, marketing or sharing facilities or services, or joint bidding for contracts.

The model allows member businesses to retain their own brands, independence and control while helping businesses to reduce costs or share the risks of tackling new markets or investing in new processes.
