You need both profit AND impact to survive long-term.
Social enterprises are caught between two goals: financial sustainability and social/environmental impact. You'll learn SROI (social return on investment — how much social value per pound spent?), blended value (mixing financial return with impact), and how to measure impact so funders and stakeholders believe in your numbers. You'll understand that a profitable social enterprise can scale impact far more than a loss-making charity.
