Guide to Finance for Social Enteprise
Greater Capital has partnered with the ILO to write a Guide to Finance for Social Enterprise, which will include a comprehensive database of the providers of grant, debt and equity finance for social businesses in South Africa, descriptions and explanations of different types of finance that are available (including their pros and cons), and several case studies and discussions to help your enterprise determine what size and type of finance is appropriate for your business needs.
ASEN welcomes all emerging and established Social Enterprises and other stakeholders to participate in this online forum, to discuss your needs, to ask questions and to provide further input to ensure that the Guide meets the information requirements of Social Enterprises in Africa.
An LIVEBLOG discussion on 22 Sept 2010 kick-started the discussions

There are various existing or ongoing efforts to collect data on the financial needs of social enterprises. These could usefully be collated and perhaps extended in order to provide a coherent picture of the demand for finance by social enterprises.
2. There are various sources and types of financial services available for social enterprises. Some of these are generic and some are specific to social enterprise. It would be useful to put together a guide to finance for social enterprise that includes information on these.
3. Institutions that are considering possible interventions (including government and corporates) would find a review of international examples/best practice useful to inform the design of their interventions.
