Business support for co-operatives and non-financial mutuals

Hands touching - partnership working

The Department for Business has launched a consultation on how the UK Government can continue to support co-operative and non-financial mutual businesses to start up and grow.

It covers:

  • data and experiences of co-operatives and non-financial mutuals across sectors
  • the start-up experiences of co-operatives and non-financial mutuals
  • how co-operatives and non-financial mutuals grow and sustain
  • the experiences of businesses that have mutualised, such as transitioned to a co-operative or mutual model
  • experiences of co-operatives and non-financial mutuals in accessing business support

This call for evidence closes at 11:59pm on 18 February 2026.
