What This Service Covers
A cooperative is a member-owned legal form governed by cooperative law, not company law. This service helps a founding group identify the correct registration level, prepare founding documents and coordinate the agreed registration route.
What Our Service Includes
- Registration-level review, founding documents and coordination within the agreed engagement.
- A route review based on the cooperative's type, objectives and proposed area of operation before founding records are finalised.
- Coordination of the agreed founding-document and registrar sequence; the relevant registrar retains the registration decision.
Who It Is For
- Groups forming a savings and credit, agricultural, dairy, consumer, multipurpose or other cooperative.
- Founding members who need to establish the appropriate registration level and complete their founding governance records.
What Is Not Assumed
- A cooperative is not a company or a bank.
- Lending operations, product approval, audit and cooperative management are separate functions.
- The registering level, membership threshold, capital and checklist must be confirmed for the cooperative's area and type.
