Investing in a co-operative is different to investing in a Limited Company or PLC.

Cornwall Farmers is a friendly society registered under the same Industrial and Provident Act as a traditional building society. Indeed your investment works just like a traditional building society account. You will receive interest on the account
and if the business makes a profit, a bonus may be distributed too. In accordance with the society rules, you can redeem your investment by application to the Board.

At present the minimum investment sum
is £100 and the maximum is £20,000.

Members also participate in the capital growth of the business in accordance with the rules of the society, although this would only be distributed if Cornwall Farmers were sold or ceased trading.
