DEVELOP YOUR SOCIAL ECONOMY ENTERPRISE WITH PROJECT SUPPORT

Along with our partners at the CDRQ, we offer full support at each stage of a project’s development. Each project is different, but SEEnet will generally lead the early stages of the project. The CDRQ is our official partner for project support and usually comes on board once the first draft of the business plan is being created.

We can help with the following:

  • Ideation (additional coaching is available via YES Employment and Entrepreneurship) and support for market analysis, environmental assessment, and needs assessment
  • Development of a business model, including the feasibility, financial structure, business plan, and search for financing
  • Choice of a legal form (cooperative or nonprofit)
  • Mobilization of members and partners
  • Incorporation process
  • Development of bylaws, contract templates, and registers
  • Organization of annual general meetings and board meetings
  • Training on roles and responsibilities of the board of directors
  • Decision-making
  • Exploration of different options for funding specific to social economy enterprises, including grants and loans
