This guide from Business Link outlines alternative legal forms for setting up a social enterprise.
You should note that it’s the business activities and what it does with its profits that determines whether it is a social enterprise, rather than its specific legal structure. However, it is worth considering the options carefully to ensure the chosen structure is the most suitable in terms of ownership, management style and image.
