Entrepreneurship proves to be important for social and economic issues and even for survival. Business activities can be distinguished between entrepreneurship by opportunity (pull) or by necessity (push). This study aims to analyze the factors that propel the individual to entrepreneurship, as evidenced by their characteristics in cooperatives, whether by opportunity or by necessity. The research was characterized in a multiple case study where four cooperatives were studied, two located in the Southern region of Brazil and two in the Northeastern region. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through content analysis. The results showed that the formation of the cooperatives of the Southern region was characterized as entrepreneurship by opportunity while those of the Northeast presented characteristics of both types. Regardless of whether they were formed by opportunity or by necessity, the cooperatives analyzed were looking for new business challenges. In the analyzed cases, regardless of what makes entrepreneurship happen, the global principles of cooperativism are preserved, as well as its characteristics such as the fact that its members take full responsibility for management as well as participation in results.
