About Impulso Cooperativo

Impulso Cooperativo is a Valencia advisory firm that is itself organised as a cooperative and specialises in worker-owned cooperatives. It reports having accompanied over 600 cooperatives, and offers a launch programme for entrepreneurs plus ongoing fiscal and labour management for existing members of the social economy. Offices operate in Valencia and Alicante, and a team of more than forty staff is organised into fiscal, labour, mercantile, administration, grants and IT departments. Several partners hold senior posts in regional and national cooperative federations. Beyond advisory work, the firm builds websites, handles data protection and cybersecurity, processes subsidies exclusive to cooperatives and promotes cooperation among client cooperatives. Promotional material argues for the cooperative model compared with a limited company and describes monthly support plans for new businesses, although prices are only given on request. The site is in Spanish and no service is directed specifically at foreign or non-resident clients.
