Fourth Sector has developed a social entrepreneurship business plan guide that provides concise and helpful advice for those who want to establish or expand a social enterprise. The guide was developed in partnership with the Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest, and is based on the expertise of established social enterprise Fourth Sector and other leaders in the field.

The guide offers specific strategies for avoiding common pitfalls and helps social entrepreneurs to map out a viable route to sustainability for their ideas. The guide should prove useful for traditional charity and community groups who are looking to establish new sources of revenue through social enterprise, as well as individual entrepreneurs and co-ops. The practical, step-by-step approach walks through the stages of social enterprise business development with special focus on writing a business plan and generating income.
