Social Enterprises are essentially oriented with one or more than one social objectives. These concerns work to bring better changes in society and to improve certain social conditions. But, to work for the society and impact it with a positive approach, social entrepreneurs need to establish themselves on a stable financial foundation first. Here the question arises that, how to found a Social Enterprise that can fund its objective and its founders and workers, all at the same time.
Get a Clear Vision about the concept of Social Enterprise
A social Enterprise, when founded with both a business aspect and for a social cause, it is not a not-for-profit concern. There is nothing wrong in earning profit from a Social Enterprise as long as the profit is used for the social purpose it serves and for paying its employees, founders and core members. Running a Social Enterprise is nothing different than running a mainstream commercial business when it comes to earning revenue.
Speak More About Your Business and Make the Network Wider
Business experts advise that a Social Entrepreneur should speak equally about the enterprise’s Business Vision and Social Objective. It means, instead of focusing on one purpose, a social entrepreneur should prioritize both purposes of their business; first, generating profit by selling its products or services and second, fulfilling the company’s social commitment. In this process, at times, emphasizing on the business aspect more than the other one should not be considered as a wrong step. Also, making new people aware of the business and its objective will engage larger number of people. This will be benefiting the business in different ways.
