Business support,
The Cooperative Way
We’ve been informally matchmaking for years. Connecting great people and ideas with the relationships they need to succeed. Now we’re making it official.
SPACE4 is home to a community of values-driven businesses, co-ops, and freelancers. We believe in cooperation over competition, offering support that goes beyond quick fixes. Our focus is on building lasting relationships, connecting your business with a network of like-minded professionals who bring the skills and services you need to thrive. By strengthening these connections, we help grow not only your business but also the wider local and cooperative economy.

How it works
We’ll help match you with someone who suits your needs, values, and budget – and shares a commitment to working in ways that are mutually beneficial. You then work directly with them.
This isn’t a formal accelerator or consultancy programme. It’s a cooperative approach to business support – light-touch, trusted, and personal. Our aim isn’t only to connect you with the right person for the job, but to lay the foundations for ongoing, mutually beneficial relationships that you can rely on for years to come.
To facilitate these relationships we will offer you space to meet in, the opportunity to meet others on the same journey, and bespoke events that benefit everyone involved.
The process:
- Submit an enquiry via our matchmaking form OR join our in-person monthly structured networking sessions
- If you end up working with someone, please let us know how it goes. And if you have the time, we’d love a case study to include in our impact reports!
