As an established social enterprise, Forth Sector was asked to prepare this guide to help other organisations and individuals preparing to set one up. In their forward, they write, "Starting a social enterprise can be challenging, rewarding, stimulating and scary. There is already a range of business planning guides and templates out there but very few can tell you how to set up a social enterprise. We've used our own experience, and the experience of others in running businesses with equal financial, social and environmental aims to map out a route for you. We hope that you will benefit from our experience, avoid the pitfalls and achieve your goal to establish a successful social enterprise.
