The Act simplifies the process of incorporating a cooperative, reduces governance obligations, and facilitates the process of acquiring capital from members and investors. A large part of the cooperatives in Finland are cooperatives for water supply purposes. Provisions on standard bylaws for cooperatives may be issued by Regulation of the Ministry of Justice.
