Social Enterprise Company Programme Now Available

What is a Social Enterprise?
A Social Enterprise is a business that aims to tackle a social and/or environmental need and uses its profits to further this aim.

How does Social Enterprise Company Programme work?
Company Programme students can now choose to run their Young Enterprise company as a Social Enterprise. They make this decision at the beginning of the year and run their business as a Community Interest Company (CIC).

What's involved?
Students get the same Company Programme experience with the same benefits but operate under a different legal structure which enables them to trade as a real Social Enterprise. Their Memorandum and Articles must include a social impact statement, shareholders recieve a "blended return" and students are required to provide a social impact report at the end of the year.
