Social enterprise is a dynamic and inspiring way of doing business. Social enterprises are innovative, independent businesses that exist to deliver a specific social and/or environmental mission; they form a diverse community and their approach, which seeks more-than-profit, is adopted by a huge range of organisations of every size, operating in every corner of Europe and in most sectors of the economy. Social enterprises trade in all markets, selling goods and services to individual consumers, local authorities, government and private businesses. Just like any private sector business, their aim is to make a profit. However, all profits or surpluses are always reinvested back into their social and environmental purposes
