Investment in Sustainable Start-ups & Social Enterprises

They say that money makes the world go round, so if we're trying to make the world a little better we sometimes need a little bit more money...

If you're a social enterprise or a sustainable business with plans to grow your impact, then investment could be the boost you need to scale up and make a bigger difference. Because, whilst we may be more focussed on our mission than the money, it is clear that if you’re not financially sustainable as a business, you’ll not be able to achieve your environmentally sustainable goals.

Your purpose gives you direction, but your finances fuel the engine that gets you there. And investment might be one option to help you reach the next level in your social business.

I was delighted to host an online session with investment advisor, Charlotte Scott who gave us a whistle-stop tour of the investment landscape for those who put purpose-over-profit. It was enlightening to discover the various options available to us as ‘social entrepreneurs’ and heartening to learn that not all investors are fire breathing dragons!
