👋 Help us lobby to unlock finance for #coops 💸

📋 We’re working with partners to ask the government to remove barriers to raising finance. To make our case, we’re conducting research via a 20-minute survey on:

⭐ Benefits of co-ops, mutuals and employee-owned businesses
⭐ The government’s plan to double the mutual sector
⭐ Barriers to growth due to difficulty securing funding

Take the survey ➡️ https://t.co/6mE89eBubn.
🗓️ Deadline: end of January.

In partnership with @AFM_UK, @BSABuildingSocs, @EmployeeOwned and @ABCULCUs.
