The Co-Op is a self-funded, not-for-profit, cooperative association
of business owners, former business owners, and future business
owners - an educational, sales, marketing, business development, mentoring, incubation
and support organization for the start-up and early stage entrepreneur and we teach you

"One size does NOT fit all!"
We're not a charity. We don't have our hand out. We're not your tax dollar
at work. We're of business, by business, for business. We're financially
independent, proud of it and show our clients how to be that way, too.
