Business Planning Tool For Co-operatives

The Tool Factory is working on a project that will see a version of its Business Plan Writer software being released especially for Co-operatives.

Co-operatives UK are working with us to ensure that the tool we create meets your needs.

As part of this process, we would really appreciate your input as to what you think would be helpful in a tool like this.

The survey should just take you 5 minutes. Thank you.
