Who the Guide is for:
This Guide is for you if you are thinking about starting a social enterprise or want to sustain or grow your enterprise activities and impact. If you decide to start a social enterprise, your intention should be to create a community asset rather than individual wealth.

The Guide has three key sections: Plan, Sustain, and Grow. Within each section, we use the 5Ms: Mission, Market, Manage, Money, and Measure, to share advice, insights and stories to support business planning and maintenance.
