The Department for Business & Trade's call for evidence on business support for co-operatives and non-financial mutuals aims to explore how the government can continue to support co-operatives and non-financial mutuals to start, grow and sustain, as well as support existing businesses transition into a co-operative or mutual model. It builds on the government’s ‘Plan for Small Business’ published in 2025 by taking a more focused look at the co-operatives and mutuals sector.
UKSCS responded to the call to provide an evidence base to inform policy proposals that can help the UK Government's commitment to double the size of the co-operatives and mutuals sectors.
