Social investment is repayable, often with interest. Charities and social enterprises may generate a surplus through tradingactivities, contracts for delivering public services, grants and donations, or a combination of some or all of these. This surplus isthen used to repay investors.
Social investment is not suitable for everyone, and it should be considered alongside other options. It’s important to look at the range of finance options available to your charity or social enterprise before deciding.
Social investment is not a grant or a donation.
