Social businesses.

Meet social needs with business know-how

Social business models emerge everywhere. We see ‘profit with a purpose’ in the private sector, arms-length trading in the public sector and charities generating their own sustainable income. Our experience across all these areas means we’re ideally placed to help. Whether you’re a young enterprise looking for help with set-up, or a more mature business seeking investment, our specialists can offer sound insight and a guiding hand to boost your chances of success.

Did you know social businesses are statistically more likely to develop new products or services than regular SMEs? Good to know if you’re working hard on that next step. Make it easier to take by sharing your back office and financial management needs with us.
