BALLE offers a webinar on a CSE (Community Supported Enterprise) called Worker’s Diner, which is using a local stock offering to finance a worker-controlled restaurant. Learn about the process and raising funds locally from the perspective of a worker cooperative:

Local Stock Offerings Part Two
Worker Ownership and Direct Public Offering

Chris Michael and Workers Development have been working to create Workers Diner, a family-friendly dining establishment serving traditional New York City diner cuisine in the heart of Central Brooklyn. Pending funding through a Direct Public Offering launched this spring, Workers Diner will be organized as a worker cooperative, with all voting rights and profits retained by worker-owners.

The founders of Workers Diner intend on establishing a replicable model for the financing of worker-controlled businesses: with startup costs raised from local communities, profits and proceeds can remain in local communities. Join Chris as he shares this model and the Worker Diner story.
