there is always only one key element: who puts money in and under what conditions?

No, there are no standards for social businesses yet, and I do hope that Asians will not adopt the anglo-Saxon model of using businesses for “passive income”.

That is the main point: investors must not take “dividends” out of a company that they invest in. They can only get their money back plus a little extra. But NOT dividends until the company is sold or dissolved.

Hoping this helps,
Sabine

If we want to list social enterprises, previous thing we have to do is evaluating the social enterprises clearly.
But this is very difficult to calculate the social effects which are generated by social enterprises.
Unfortunately, evaluating tools about the social enterprises are not completely researched and built in Korea
So we want to know about the standards that evaluate the social enterprises and tips.

2.Tell us the specific process of establishing SSE, and also difficulties and advises related to SSE.
In Korea, we are pioneer about social enterprise, especially SSE. But as we said earlier, we are just undergraduate students who have limitation and struggles in the process of gaining information.
Your answer would be good not only us, but also our society to become healthy and happy.

We are looking forward receiving your reply as soon as possible.
Thank you for reading.
