Social Enterprise Characteristics
Social Purpose - created to generate social impact and change by solving a social problem or market failure
Enterprise Approach – uses business vehicles, entrepreneurship, innovation, market approaches, strategic-orientation, discipline and determination of a for-profit business
Social Ownership – public good; stewardship, rather than legal structure
