A Bill to enable co-operatives to issue permanent shares; and for connected purposes.
The bill would let co-operatives issue permanent shares, which are long-term capital that isn’t redeemable on demand by members. This gives co-ops a new way to raise funds while keeping members as part of the ownership, with related rules to define how those shares work and how they fit with existing co-operative law.
