Social Enterprise Development

Social Enterprises take a business approach to solving a social problem. The mission is social in focus and the activities of trade in goods and services have a social purpose that benefits society. As opposed to a for-profit entity, which has as its purpose to maximize share holder profits, the goal of the social enterprise is to utilize profits to resolve an issue and maximize the benefit to society.  For many social enterprises, these social objectives are central to the business. 

Conversion to a Social Enterprise operation or the creation of a Social Enterprise requires an approach to change management not often experienced by most non-profit entities.  Creation of your social enterprise leads to sustainability, and requires capacity building and implementation of best practices.
