At the moment, I presume most social enterprises are companies limited by guarantee, whereas an entrepreneur is limited by share capital. Should we have a separate entity that would get both started? A company limited by guarantee is a bit onerous at the moment but, hopefully, we will change the audit status of that soon. Most of the community area is limited by guarantee at the moment.
