The Social Enterprise Guide

A must read for social entrepreneurs, this comprehensive guide will take you through the major steps required to start your social enterprise.

Created by Social Enterprise UK, The Social Enterprise Guide is essential for any social entrepreneur who wants to start their own social enterprise. As the guide states, “lots of people want to jump to writing their business plan or choosing a legal structure. Both of these are important and they feature later in this guide, but we think there are lots of important questions to think about first.”

The guide takes you through the process of starting, step by step, from market research, social impact, marketing and branding, legal structures, to business plans. It uses case studies throughout, to translate ideas into practice.
