Empowering Communities to Create Wealth and Economic Well-being through Community Ownership & Community Investment
The Center for Community Ownership (CCO) provides legal, financial and strategic expertise to communities that want to start and save essential local businesses. By offering the technical support necessary to create community-owned enterprises, the CCO helps communities meet their economic development goals while building real financial wealth.
For owners of existing businesses who are interested in selling or retiring and want to ensure that their businesses continue to thrive, the CCO also provides “Exit to Community” services. Selling your business to your community can be a transformative exit strategy and a powerful transition plan.
Additionally, the CCO works to develop the local and community investing landscape, both as a consultant on capital raises and a cultivator of local investing ecosystems.
