As a social business, you expect to make a surplus whilst providing social, caring or environmental services in the community.  Then you reinvest it by ploughing it back into creating new or better services.  This is what makes you stand out from private sector businesses which distribute their profits to shareholders or the owner.

Rapid expansion and growth is a feature of many social enterprises – but have your internal systems kept pace?  Two years ago, you had 5 staff – now you have 50 and are considering a merger to drive down overhead costs and maximise frontline services. 

Getting business development advice from someone who understands your social aims is important.  I work with several like-minded consultants who specialise in HR and Finance – together we offer a holistic package of business support to social enterprises.  

Do contact me to discuss your requirements, and we’ll tailor a package for you.
