If you’ve ever wondered how you could combine running an enterprise AND making a difference in the world, then social enterprise is for you.
This book tells you what social enterprise is, how to set up a social enterprise and how to run, manage and grow it successfully.
•Do you want to make a difference to people and the planet?
•Do you want to make money in a way that aligns with your values?
This book makes it easier than you think with information on legal structures for social enterprise, how to develop products and services, pricing, tax and VAT issues, people management, marketing, financing and investment, social value and impact measurement, as well as looking at your exit strategy, how to avoid burnout and the future of social enterprise.
