How Do Social Enterprises Deliver Tailored Support to Minority Entrepreneurs?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Palgrave Handbook of Minority Entrepreneurship

Abstract

This chapter presents the relationship between social and minority entrepreneurship from the prospective of business support. The chapter gives attention to a model which covers a mixture of decision-making processes made by social enterprises to involve minorities in tailored business development. The chapter offers three mainstream ways of support that are dependent on the current business stage of the minority enterprises. This situation is illustrated by nine case studies, which demonstrate the current situation on the market and could help to focus on relevant help for each minority groups during the different stages of business creation, growth and stabilisation.
