One Legacoop, Many Advantages
Representation and
Protection
Defending and supporting the cooperative world at institutional tables
We play a crucial role in representing the interests of cooperatives at national and international levels. Thanks to our long history and credibility, we hold a prominent position in discussions with the government, public institutions, and economic organizations. This representation translates into greater influence over legislative and regulatory processes that impact cooperatives.
Technical Support and Consultancy
Regulations, contracts, taxes, credit, and investments: we are here to help
Member cooperatives benefit from a wide range of consultancy and technical support services. These include legal assistance regarding regulatory issues, contracts, and compliance; support in tax management and fiscal planning; financial consultancy for management, access to credit, and investment planning; and help with structuring and improving operational efficiency.
Training and Updates
Courses for members, executives, and workers: keeping our co-ops in step with a changing world
Legacoop organizes numerous training and professional development courses. These cover various themes, such as business management (management techniques, corporate strategy, and leadership), cooperative leadership (developing skills to manage a cooperative effectively), labor regulations (updates on employment laws and industrial relations), and technological innovation (training on new technologies and digital trends).
Promotion
and Visibility
Amplifying your cooperative’s voice through campaigns, events, and initiatives
Joining Legacoop can significantly improve your cooperative’s visibility. We promote our affiliates through communication campaigns, event promotion, highlighting success stories in the media, and participation in fairs and conferences. We also provide opportunities to present your cooperative at national and international events and publish articles and case studies highlighting best practices.
Access to Collaborative Networks
Strength in numbers. We put you in dialogue with other cooperatives
We facilitate access to a vast network of cooperatives across different sectors. This network enables cross-sector collaborations, creating synergies and innovation; the exchange of experiences and sharing of best practices; and the development of joint projects to tackle common challenges or explore new market opportunities.
Financial
Support
Facilitating access to credit and assisting with bureaucratic procedures
We offer support in accessing financing and specific tax incentives for cooperatives. This includes mediation with credit institutions to obtain financing on favorable terms, assistance in drafting solid and convincing business plans, and identifying subsidized funding opportunities through grants and specialized programs.
Innovation
and Development
Projects and collaborations to seize opportunities in advanced technologies and skills
We promote innovation within cooperatives by supporting R&D projects for new products, services, and processes. We assist in the adoption of digital technologies and the implementation of advanced tools through collaborations with universities and research institutes.
Shared Values
and Principles
A community that recognizes itself
Joining Legacoop also means sharing a set of cooperative values that strengthen the identity of the enterprise. These values include democracy (active participation of all members in decisions), equality (equal rights and opportunities), solidarity (mutual support), and sustainability (commitment to economic, social, and environmental progress).
