The purpose of our local cooperative is to educate and consult business owners with the many challenges they face. For example, we collectively organize the purchase and acquisition of point of sale systems, because it helps our clients save capital and improve their businesses. We also acquire and teach software systems (like invoicing), labor/payroll systems, tax compliance, electronic payments and mobile solutions. The size our organization decreases the cost associated with these services and allows Grand Strand Business Cooperative to provide the technical training and resources necessary to deliver these services to our members. We also offer one on one mentorship and education for business owners, managers and employees throughout the Carolinas. This training encompasses the wide variety of challenges facing small business owners such as computing systems, accounting, payroll, marketing, web design, finance and electronic payment systems. We pride ourselves on our personal mentorship services.
