We can write business plans, carry out market research, help you explore new income streams, develop partnerships or any other aspect of developing your social enterprise idea. We will present the results in a written report that can be presented to your board, staff or wider stakeholders.

We have considerable experience of supporting people set up social enterprises. Whether you are exploring setting up a trading arm of a charity or establishing a social enterprise from an existing public service, or looking at supporting social enterprises as part of your commitment to corporate social responsibility, we can help you work through the issues.
