Supporting Social Entrepreneurs
Description
The Social Enterprise sector provides a structure of financial, social and economic development that can help redress a balance between the continual drive for global economic growth with the needs of the real economy – its people, families, community and society.
In order for the movement to flourish the Government must examine the resources, support and structures it has in place to support the development of Social enterprises, there are for example issues around tax neutrality, entrepreneurs relief and legal structures that be must be addressed.
By creating the environment where individuals can access support, capital and draw on the expertise and experiences of others the Government can create a new generation of social entrepreneurs, individuals who are looking for value driven careers and who recognise that economic growth must be environmentally sustainable and contribute to wide objectives of social well being.
Social Enterprise will deliver on this triple bottom line but will only become the business model of the 21st Century if National Government improves the quality and quantity of support tailored for Social enterprises.
This sector through its specific ability to understand and deal with the problems society and the economy faces can deliver sustainable solutions to society, the economy and the environment.
> We believe the Government must improve the resources and re-examine the support structure in place to assist the development of social enterprises.
