Social Enterprise: Business on a Social Mission
| | Tip#10 Do Social Enterprises have to have 'social ownership'?
Some argue that within its legal membership, a social enterprise should have representation from the wider local community that it serves.
However, this is not endorsed by the state through its definitions, by the Social Enterprise Coalition, or by the European Social Enterprise Research Network (EMES).
And even those bodies advocating this characteristic recognise that it will not apply to all social enterprises, especially where their trading area is not limited to a specific community or geographical area or owing to their relative stage in their maturity or development as an organisation.
