If you would like to withdraw your investment from the Co-op, the Board of Directors has the power to purchase back your share if the Belfast Community Co-op is in good financial health.

Once you have filled out the New Owner Sign-up form, you should expect to receive an email from Ownership Services, ownership@belfast.coop, within 3-5 business days with information about your Co-op account and your equity payment option. If you do not see this email in your inbox, please check your spam folder or reach out to Ownership Services.

No, the Co-op has single-owner accounts. In the past, we offered some multi-owner accounts that were started prior to 2022.  However, these multi-owner accounts are not household accounts; every adult listed on the account is required to be an owner and to invest equity in the Co-op.  

As of 2022, we are no longer signing up multiple adults on the same account — one owner, one account! This system helps the Co-op when it comes to online voting, equity distribution, and equity issues that arise from death or divorce. For accounts that already have multiple owners, there will be no change at this time.
