Our team of experts has years of experience in the field of social entrepreneurship. We understand the unique challenges faced by those looking to start or grow a social enterprise, and we are committed to providing tailored support that meets their specific needs.
One of our core services is our start-up support program. This program is designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs turn their ideas into viable businesses. We provide guidance on everything from business planning and market research to legal structures and funding options.
For those who already have an established business but are looking for ways to grow it further, we offer growth support services. Our team can help with everything from marketing strategy development to financial management advice.
In addition to our direct support services, we also conduct research into various aspects of social entrepreneurship. Our aim is not only to advance knowledge in this field but also provide insights that can inform policy decisions at local, national or international levels.
Finally, ISE offers consultancy services for organizations seeking expert advice on how best they can integrate socially responsible practices into their operations or develop new products/services with positive societal impacts.
