The typical social enterprise employs 10 people.
49% employ fewer than 10 people 38% employ between 10 and 49 11% have 50-249 employees and 2% employ more than 250
(IFF, 2005).

The Small Firms Literature
Variable usage of business planning
83% Naffziger & Kuratko (1991) 40% Georgellis & Joyce (2000)
‘All decisions revolve around the entrepreneur with little reliance on formal planning…decisions can be swift, opportunistic, instinctive and bold and are rarely committed to paper’.

Is Social Enterprise Planning Different?
Social enterprises may be 80-90% similar 10-20% that is different is often the make or
break factor. They have to meet both a financial and a social
bottom line which can cause tensions and conflicts many mainstream businesses do not have to face…
The real difference is often found in the organisational culture
(DTI, 2002).

Is Social Enterprise Planning Different?
Pearce, (2003, p.9):
Social enterprises are not businesses; they are social enterprises.
They require social enterprise plans, not business plans.
They require support and financing mechanisms which reflect their values.

Is Social Enterprise Planning Different?
a social enterprise plan must ‘not only demonstrate that its commercial plan is viable and achievable but also that its social aims are compatible with the business plan and also achievable.
A social enterprise plan will have social performance targets
as well as business performance targets.’
Pearce, (2003)

Raising funds?
‘…where will that first cash injection come from when the business is a social enterprise and there are no personal savings and no property to offer as collateral?
Or if it is a social enterprise entering a new market? Or doing the sort of business the commercial sector
isn't interested in because the margins are too small or too risky?
Or with a client base or location or staff that's just too difficult?
Or because the business model is based on the foolish notion of offering goods or services to people who may have problems paying at all, let alone sufficiently over cost to allow for an attractive return on capital?’
(Phillips, 2006)
