The 7 Principles of Social Business
1. The business objective will be to overcome poverty, or one or more problems
(such as education, health, technology access, and environment) which
threaten people and society; not just profit maximization.
2. Financial and economic sustainability.
3. Investors get back their investment amount only. No dividend is given beyond
investment money.
4. When the investment amount is paid back, company profit stays with the
company for expansion and improvement.
5. Every social business is environmentally conscious.
6. The workforce gets a market wage with better working conditions.
7. ...do it with joy. Social business is about making the world a better place.

21. The Centre for Social Business
promotes research and
consultancy in areas such as
microfinance, community issues,
social housing, sustainable design,
corporate social responsibility and
business ethics

22. The Centre also aims to focus upon social
business activity within the City of Salford: -
contributing to its development and drawing
from the skills that exist within Salford to
provide academic qualifications in social
business, tailored executive training in
social business, underpinned by a thriving
research community examining social
business.

23. “A structure that harnesses the energy
of profit-making to the objective of
fulfilling human needs, social business
creates self-supporting, viable
commercial enterprises that generate
economic growth even as they produce
goods and services that make the world
a better place”.

24. Work with local social enterprises to identify their needs from
infrastructure and develop a model for a sustainable and self
funding peer network and infrastructure support.
A ‘Social enterprise’ is a third sector organisation which has a
wider accountability to the community and the public via a board
of trustees or a membership and where all profits will be
reinvested in their social purpose.
Transforming Local Infrastructure (TLI) is money from the Office for Civic
Society, administered by the Big Fund. TLI aims to produce short term funding
(over 18 months from April 2012) to transform infrastructure activities so that
they are more sustainable and less dependent on support from central
government.
