How to set up a Social Enterprise/ Not For Profit Organisation Seminar

Are you trying to set up a social enterprise / not for profit organisation to serve the local community?

James Watkins will advise you on how to set up the legal structures. In a social enterprise you don’t just have to worry about keeping the customer satisfied. You have to satisfy your social ambitions too – whether that means serving a community, protecting the environment or solving a social problem – so getting the structure of your organisation right is key to achieving your social goals.

It’s possible to start a social enterprise with nothing in the bank, but most will benefit from an injection of cash – no matter how small. Finding the right cash for your social enterprise is where the trick lies, and that means finding the investors with whom you can work positively and who understand what it is you’re trying to achieve from both a social and business perspective. The right investor is out there and this course will help you find the funds for your social enterprise.

This seminar will help you get the support you need – from crowdfunding to grants and from social impact bonds to charitable giving – and much, much more.
