Can your business benefit from a Social Enterprise Status?
A social enterprise is a business that is driven by a social or environmental purpose. But it's a business without shareholders or owners, and all profits are reinvested back into the business, which in turn benefits the community.
An example of a social enterprise is the Fairtrade chocolate company, Divine Chocolate, Jamie Oliver's restaurant, Fifteen and the Big Issue magazine are also social enterprises.
