Investment shares
From EcoReality
Investment shares are the primary means of generating working capital in EcoReality Coop.
The Cooperative Association Act defines two types of shares in a coop:
- Member shares must exist. Each member, not each member share, has a vote in general meetings.
- Investment shares are optional. Investors have limited oversight or control over day-to-day operations, and really only have a say in matters of dissolution.
In EcoReality, investment shares are the primary means of distributing coop profit.
