Editing Cooperative (section)

=== Cooperative resources ===

==== Gross profits ====
If the cooperative is based on selling products or services, a part of the finance comes from the profits that they get from their activities.<ref name=":10" />

==== Proceeds from assets ====
A cooperative can have different assets from which it can get money without having to sell those assets. For example, if the cooperative has money in the bank, and the bank gives interests, it can generate some more money. Or for example, if the cooperative owns a place and rents it, it can get some more money out of it.<ref name=":10" />

==== Balance sheet assets ====
Assets can also be converted to money. For example, if the cooperative owns shares of another company, they can sell them and turn them into liquidity. Or if the cooperative owns a building, it can sell it. Different types of assets can be converted to liquidity with different levels of ease: for example, selling shares is easier and less time-consuming than selling land, which might take months. Thus, shares are much more easily converted to liquidity than land.<ref name=":10" />
