Then you've come to the right place first!

Welcome to the Social Entrepreneur Show: a brand new and unique event to support the growing social enterprise business community.

The sector is growing fast in the UK . It's expanding in terms of the number of social enterprise organisations – and it's penetrating deeper and deeper into the consciousness of the buying public and commerce.

If you're involved with social enterprise you have to learn extra-fast and adapt quickly to new situations, opportunities and legislation.

This new event brings together entrepreneurs in the social enterprise sector with those organisations which can help them to get going … and to succeed.

At the Social Entrepreneur Show, in one single location you can:

Meet hundreds of funded and private organisations which can help you
Seek expert answers to the specific questions you have about your chosen type of company and aspirations
Choose from a range of seminars covering everything from accessible e-commerce to worldwide ethical banking, and every stop in between
Register for one-to-one advice on a number of specialist topics
Review your business plans and ideas with enthusiastic experts
Hear from people like you who've tried and tested the theory of starting a social enterprise: learn from their fortunes and failings
Network with like-minded individuals: forge valuable new business and personal contacts for your new life
… and it's all FREE!

There's never been a better time to start a social enterprise … and there's never been an event like this to help you.

See you there!

Options for the legal structure of a social enterprise can be overwhelming. We'll show you what to consider.

Just because you're a social enterprise, it doesn't mean you'll get the contract. We look at sales and marketing techniques.

What help can you get by way of practical assistance and financial support – and where from?

Community interest companies: keeping all the goals in the line of sight.
