This training is aimed at new social entrepreneurs and those thinking of setting up a social enterprise. It will cover governance issues for social enterprises, covering what is meant by governance and looking at its implications within various legal structures.

 

Topic covered will include:  

  • Why do people set up a social enterprise?
  • What does a social enterprise look like?
  • Why legal structure matters
  • What good governance looks like – and what happens when it goes wrong.

After the session, attendees will understand how a social enterprise operates and trades and the appropriate legal structures in order to do so. They will also gain crucial knowledge of what they need to do to ensure their social enterprise is well governed, including who needs to make decisions affecting the running of the enterprise and who else might need to be included / consulted about the activities of the enterprise
