A Co-operation (Co-op) is a Company Formation which allows a group of people to buy raw materials, products or a services in bulk. The Co-op will then sell these products / services to the public and the members (owners) of the Co-op. All profits (surpluses) are divided between the members of the Co-op.
For example, the Co-op consisting of 20 members buys 1000 liters of milk from a nearby farm and sells it in 1 liter containers to their members as well as the public. Say the Co-op has produced R20000 in profit after expenses, it means that each member has made R1000 in profit.
You can start a business in ANY industry! The most popular follows below:
- Tunnels (Tomatoes, Cucumber, Green Pepper)
- Farming
- Boiler farming
- Boerbok farming
- Egg farming
- Pig farming
- Fishing
- Sheep farming.
