When it comes to social enterprises, there is no fixed template – they come in all shapes, sizes and formats, from small organisations to large charities employing many staff. Nor do social enterprises work in narrow niche markets – Scotland’s many social enterprises trade across all sectors, providing all sorts of services and goods.
What they do have in common is that every single one is creating social and/or environmental value in the communities they work in.
However, we understand that this comes with its unique set of challenges and that every social enterprise will need a helping hand from time to time to successfully negotiate these and to strengthen their operations.
If you want to make sure your organisation is in the best position to overcome obstacles and take advantage of opportunities, then Just Enterprise’s business specialists can work with you on a one-to-one basis, or in group workshops, to build the skills, knowledge and confidence to develop your business.
