This is the first of three articles from the Guardian on how to start a cooperative enterprise.

Co-operatives offer a flexible model for new businesses. They can be set up by employees, consumers, local residents and businesses and already work well in everything from healthcare to housing, wind farms to web design.

I was first introduced to co-operatives in Toronto in the 1970s I think. I helped start up a housing co-operative, and joined a food co-op (519) and my first banking co-op. I've done my banking at co-ops ever since.
