Co-operative FarmingCo-operative FarmingThis Co-op Builder will guide you to draft a constitution and a disclosure statement for a distributing co-operative.
Distributing co-operatives have share capital and can deliver services to members and share profits with members.
You will learn about each document as you design your co-op through the Co-op Builder.

Before you begin, make sure you have your business plan handy. For more information, download Business planning for co-ops.
If you are part-way through an incomplete document, clicking ‘Get Started’ takes you back to where you left off.
You must draft the constitution first and then the disclosure statement.
Please note that documents are kept for editing on the Co-op Farming website for six (6) months only.
