Thank you for your interest in our project to start a co-operative! The co-operative's mission is to reduce or eliminate the barriers that minorities (“underrepresented groups”) encounter in starting their own business (e.g., language barriers, funding, and other resources…etc.) 
The co-operative will be a supportive environment where entrepreneurs collaborate to sell their products and/or promote their services. The co-operative will also be a dynamic learning environment that meets the needs of its members. 
 
The primary goals of this survey are: 
1) to better understand the current situation of underrepresented entrepreneurs in St. John's, NL; AND 
2) to identify entrepreneurs who might be interested in starting and/or participating in a co-operative.
