A social enterprise is any business that is set up to help people, communities or the environment either for profit or non-profit. Social enterprises (SEs) tend to have a mission – to try and change the world for the better but at the same time, try and make a profit for the benefit of society. These profits are usually reinvested or donated in an effort to bring about positive social change. Therefore, an SE may use commercial strategies to realise its ends and achieve improvements in financial, social and environmental well-being.

Social Enterprise UK is the national body for social enterprise and, along with its members, has become a strong voice for SEs. It defines a social enterprise as:

* Having a clear social and/or environmental mission set out in its governing documents;
* Generating the majority of its income through trade;
* Reinvesting the majority of its profits;
* Being autonomous of the state;
* Being majority controlled in the interests of the social mission, and
* Being accountable and transparent.

SEs can range from multi-million-pound health care and public service providers to community organisations and retail business. They can span private-, public- and charity-sector organisations. Typically, SEs can be found in the high street, ranging from coffee shops and cinemas, to pubs and leisure centres, banks and bus companies.

Well-known social enterprises include:

* Co-op grocery stores;
* Café Direct Fairtrade coffee and hot drinks company;
* The Big Issue publication;
* Elvis & Kresse (making luggage from industrial waste);
* The Eden Project in Cornwall;
* Divine Chocolate, and
* Jamie Oliver’s ‘Fifteen’ restaurants.

Selling goods on the open market allows social enterprises to reinvest their profits either into their businesses or the local community, or create employment. As businesses, SEs must generate over 50% of their income through trade – often achieved after two or more years of trading.

As well as social and community-based objectives, SEs can also have charitable-based objectives. Typical examples of non-profit-based SEs can include sports clubs and voluntary groups as well as housing associations and probation groups.

A social enterprise can be set up to be a:

* Limited company;
* Charity or charity incorporated organisation (CIO);
* Co-operative;
* Community interest company (CIC) – see below;
* Sole trader or business partnership

= Community Interest Companies =

Another form of social enterprise is a community interest company (CIC) which is a special type of limited company that aims to benefit the community rather than private shareholders. CICs can be set-up online for as little as £27. See below for further details.
