20/07/10 Social Franchising Support
Social franchising is an option for existing social enterprises that wish to expand their businesses through replication as well as individuals who want to set up a franchise of an existing, successful social enterprise. As part of the Big Lottery (BASIS) funded Investing in Social Enterprise Expansion programme, the Social Enterprise Coalition is delivering an innovative Social Franchising Support project.
The aim of this project is to undertake detailed research into the processes and issues that surround social franchising and from this develop a comprehensive suite of support tools and resources for all social franchisors, franchisees and social enterprise business advisors.
