Legal and Strategy

Legal and Strategy

What is a social enterprise?

The fact that there is no single legal definition of a social enterprise in Scotland can bring lots of opportunities for you to choose the best model for you, but the choice can sometimes be daunting.  

Your legal structure affects things like how you are regulated, how you make decisions, the amount and type of tax you pay, and the kinds of grants you can apply for, or investment that you can receive.

Just Enterprise will guide you through the jargon and the menu of options to help you make the right choice for your organisation.

No matter which legal structure you work within, it’s important that your board and management team are set up for success and our advisors can also work with you on your strategic direction, providing support to help your organisation achieve its objectives, deliver its values and drive improvement.

Register today for one to one support from one of our expert advisors, or browse our workshops below

Our expert advisors can work with you one to one on legal and strategic planning issues that will help you focus on enterprise.

Just Enterprise group workshops are held all over Scotland, but they always fill up fast so don’t hang about, book your free place today.
