Most social enterprises have increased turnover during recession

More than half of social enterprises have seen their turnovers grow during the recession, according to a survey by the Social Enterprise Coalition. Its report, The State of Social Enterprise said that 56% of 962 organisations in the poll had increased their turnovers. Only 20% had seen them fall. The report pointed out that the Small Business Barometer 2009 showed that, by contrast, 43% of private sector businesses of a similar size had seen their turnovers drop, and only 20% had seen them rise. The survey also indicated that the social enterprise sector was growing: a third of all organisations in the poll sample had been set up in the past four years. Further information:
