London Co-op Development

London Co-op Development (LCD) is a consortium of independent co-op business advisers. It provides a single point of contact for co-ops in London needing professional advice and support. LCDs members are recognized by Co-operatives UK. They have a proven track record of successfully helping co-ops of all kinds to start up or to grow.

While Co-operatives London works strategically to strengthen co-operative networks in the capital, LCD is there to provide practical business advice and support.

No matter what the needs of your co-operative, LCD can match you with the most appropriate advisor, based on location or experience of your sector.

The members of London Co-op Developments are:

Hackney Co-operative Developments
Greenwich CDA
Mutual Advantage
Olmec
Principle Six
Tower Hamlets CDA
Voluntary Action Harrow
Co-operative Assistance Network (CAN)
Bruce Wood

Like mainstream businesses, co-ops face a range of challenges. Generalist business advisers often lack any understanding of co-operatives, where governance and business issues are intertwined. LCD’s support to co-operatives includes:

  • Business planning
  • Employment and staffing
  • Financial advice
  • Legal and governance
  • Growth
  • Succession
  • Investment readiness
  • Marketing
  • Access to co-op trading networks
  • Business or governance troubleshooting

Wherever ever in London you are based, you can contact LCD using the form below to be matched with the advisor best equipped to help you:
