Social enterprise is the business model of the future. The Guide to Social Enterprise will support you to plan, sustain or grow your social enterprise activity and impact.

Who the Guide is for:
This Guide is for you if you are thinking about starting a social enterprise or want to sustain or grow your enterprise activities and impact. If you decide to start a social enterprise, your intention should be to create a community asset rather than individual wealth.

What the Guide includes:
The Guide has three key sections: Plan, Sustain, and Grow. Within each section, we use the 5Ms: Mission, Market, Manage, Money, and Measure, to share advice, insights and stories to support business planning and maintenance.
