Note: these numbers may need to be adapted according to factors external to the Cooperative, namely each business's administrative workload - these will be reviewed periodically. Regarding high income volumes, a maximum amount of monthly administrative fee may be discussed and applied, depending on the administrative workload required.   
 
Youngsters up to 25 years of age or unemployed people of any age, when registered at the Employment Centre and who are now creating their own employment or business, will be exempt from the 1st year's annual fee, which will be discounted on the administrative fee over their income volume.
