Business format franchising

One of the best ways to increase the scale of successful social enterprise could be via the business format franchise model in my opinion. Not only for successful UK social enterprise companies but also for micro enterprises in emerging economies.

Document proven best practise

By documenting proven best practise and the selection suitable franchisees, who will follow the proven system, the franchise business model is able to empower and increase social enterprise benefits across many communities.

Cut out the learning curve

Another benefit to franchising in social enterprise is that the mistakes made in building new busiensses do not need to be learned and experienced again and again. How much time and effort could be saved by social entrepreneurs documenting successful business practise and making this available for franchise replication?

Improve aid organisation exits from disaster situations

NGO's, such as Christian Aid, could benefit greatly. The traditional roll of most NGO organisations is disaster relief. The NGO's exit from a disaster situation can often create a new crisis because of the lack of enterprise and jobs. A database of open source micro enterprise best practise information and training materials could help NGO's to access and and implement social enterprise before exiting a community.

Resources and action
