What is a Social Buisness?
Think of social business as a hybrid business model with a non-profit chassis powered by a for-profit engine. By integrating the innovation and efficiency of a conventional business with the proficiency of the non-profit to address social problems, you have an economic vehicle on the fast track to global regeneration!
Conventional Business Asks:
What product or service will I offer? Who are my customers and what will they pay? What is my competition, monthly expenses? When can I expect to break-even?
A Social Business Asks:
What is my social objective? Whom will I help and how will they participate in planning and shaping the business? How will the impact of my social business be measured? How can it be replicated and expanded?
