Social Enterprises and Charities

A social enterprise is a non-profit or for-profit organisation that applies commercial strategies to maximize improvements in financial, social and environmental well-being. Social Enterprises address social and environmental challenges in their own unique and creative ways. Founders of Social Enterprises are important because they challenge traditional business practices and find new solutions. Social entrepreneurs drive transformation in fields like education, environment and health. The key to success is for social entrepreneurs to combine the social need they have identified with entrepreneurial acumen and business skills.

A charity is an organisation with specific purposes defined in law to be charitable and is exclusively for public benefit.

Many of the services we offer to businesses in structure, finance, employee, customer and supplier relations and ESG are just as relevant to our Social Enterprise and Charity clients as are our Non-Legal Advice Services.

We can help social entrepreneurs to structure their business as a Community Interest Company to be eligible for 30% tax relief on loans and to obtain advance assurance for Social Investment Tax Relief. SITR is an incentive for investors that grants 30% tax relief on loans to Charities and Community Interest Companies.
