Working With Business Advisors
Numerous types of advisors (in the public sector, accountants, lawyers etc.) work face to face with start-up and expanding co-operatives. One of our most vital roles is to ensure that these advisors can gain the knowledge and insight they need about co-operatives to complement their own area of expertise, and as a result give the best advice to co-operatives .
Equipping those who work with co-operatives face to face
We work collaboratively with banks, accountants and all types of business advisors, as well as local authorities, Scottish Enterprise, Business Gateway and Highlands and Islands Enterprise. Once fully equipped and staffed, our extended team of specialist advisors will offer technical and management support in the following areas:
- Legal advice on co-operative structures
- Governance and management issues
- Recognising opportunities for businesses to transfer to the co-operative model
- Specialist financial and business planning
