Social enterprise spectrum

The spectrum is a useful tool to help explain where social enterprise fits in the spectrum of business and not-for-profit.
Often described as the point where not-for-profit meets business, a social enterprise’s primary purpose is to benefit the community and/or environment rather than provide financial return to shareholders and owners.
