Welcome to the world of social enterprise! A social enterprise is a business like any other that looks to generate profit but instead of that profit going back into the pockets of individuals, it’s reinvested into a community or cause. They still have to cover costs like rent, materials, salaries and more but by selling their products or services, they look to help others.
