I am a small business owner and I'd like to transition my business from a sole proprietorship to a worker owned cooperative, but I don't know how to get started on that path and how to avoid the pitfalls. Are there resources out there to help owners initiate such a transition, and maybe to help employees to either bargain into ownership or to defect and start their own cooperative business? It would be especially great if there were a mentorship program where people who have done it successfully could serve as guides to those new to the idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
