How do we motivate potential investors to create mega co-op corporate groups from scratch? Fundamentally, what investors and lenders look for in a potential investment-grade enterprise is the character of its leaders and the track record of the company in terms of long-term dividend and interest-issuing capabilities. Another determinant is the past and probable future market value of the target company's stock shares. Since our mega co-ops shall start from zero, their proponents have to ride aboard the 'names' of highly respected individuals, companies, Funds, governments and institutions local and foreign which already possess confidence-building investment attractors.
How? For the Philippines, investment trust may build up out of the following: a) management level retirees of top local companies as organization and management teams for the co-ops. Most large Philippine companies are joint ventures with 1st World companies; thus their retiree managers are world class. All-Filipino companies' retiree managers are just as skilled. All should have the capability to set up and manage world-class mega co-op corporate groups. Public trust will attract needed investments; b) Successful local co-ops. Filipino employee groups have set up several thousand co-ops that have grown from zero to million-peso level business. Such co-ops have focused largely on money lending but their built-up reputations should still inspire people and organizations towards investments in large-scale co-op expansions; c) local companies with CSR programs are already oriented to 'green' projects and anti-poverty action. They should lead in forming mega co-ops; d) State organizations and local NGOs are people-oriented. They should likewise lead in mega co-op formation.
What other factors should attract investors to the mega co-op idea? a) joint venture visions between mega co-ops and 1st World companies discussed in blogs and websites will greatly add to investment courage due to people's trust in 1st World corporate 'names'. b) large-scale, high-profit projects such as described in this blog, developed in detail thru blog discussions, should persuade masses of investors to set up mega co-op for good 'sideline' income; c) the world's billion-dollar Green Funds may set up guaranty companies in tropical countries that ensure repayment of bonds issued by mega co-ops or their government. Said Funds may thus help create green projects without 'touching' their assets; d) investment re-insurance companies. Green Funds together with 1st World State Aid organizations may set up re-insurance companies for the said guaranty Funds, plus crop insurance companies for mega co-op agro-forests. 'Near zero' risk for investors thus builds up investment courage; e) carbon credit buyers. Mega co-ops may persuade carbon credit buyers to instead invest additional funds in mega co-op joint ventures. The prospect of costs becoming sources of income will help persuade even non-CSR companies into clean and green investments.
What will further persuade Philippine employee masses to invest in mega co-ops? Anti-poverty laws (described in later posts) should greatly help, particularly the employee income tax to mega co-op shares law, State loans for mass entrepreneurship law and 50% corporate tax to purchase mega co-op shares. The first two laws will enable employee masses to invest without saving for investment, and earn 'sideline' income without sweating it out running a business. The third law will 'drag' corporate skills (employee-investors' very own managers) into helping manage the mega co-op as consultants because companies will have to ensure that their investments in mega co-ops will earn good returns.
Considering such factors, plus the very real danger (extinction of humanity) posed by uncontrolled global warming, there is no reason why mega co-ops should not sprout like mushrooms initially in the Philippines and later throughout the tropics.
