There’s so much potential for your enterprise to make a difference, but you don’t know where to focus or the right path to long-term success.
Friends, co-workers, and advisors don’t quite understand your purpose or your business. You’re not sure where to turn for the right advice.
You’ve spent countless hours on your social venture but frustrated you’re not getting the funding or support you need to make progress.
You want to grow impact but don’t feel fully equipped to win the day-to-day challenges of running a successful social enterprise.
Don’t worry, that’s all normal!
And that’s what inspired SEI to build this place.
Terrence, Terrence Taylor Media
Terrence started his social enterprise in 2017 to help young people express their creativity and find work. SEI online learning, coaching and support guided him step-by-step through the early stages of start-up and to build an enterprise that can now generate social good as well as profit.
“Working with SEI, and taking what I was doing well and
putting that into a model I could articulate, was lifesaving.”

People that are one step ahead of the curve and are here for you.
Social enterprises are businesses that trade for the common good. They exist to tackle social problems, help communities and protect the environment. By selling products and services they create jobs and reinvest profits back into their work or community. When they profit, society profits.
