hey Andrew—don’t know if you are still looking into this, I just stumbled on your post. I’ve been a member of two coops, that had similar organization. For us, the coops were ways to sharing the expense of being a small business, machinery being so expensive, space also being at a premium. Neither was a business coop, but I suspect that’s what most people imagine, but shared space, machinery, experience, and often coffee. Definitely how I prefer to work, but people in this area seem very attached to having their “own”. Good luck.
