| | | Conference Countdown
|  We're into the home stretch for our ClearlySo Social Business Conference. With great speakers, the chance to pitch for investment and meet with other social entrepreneurs it's a great opportunity for anyone interested in the social business and enterprise sector. A highlight of the conference will be our quick pitches. These allow entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to the conference. The best will go through to the social surgery at the end of the day where they can present their concept to a panel of expert judges. Places are almost full so if you haven't registered yet do so now before it's too late. |
| Social Investment Speed Dating |  Back by popular demand is our social investment speed dating. As always the concept is ever so simple. Entrepreneurs get three minutes to pitch one on one to interested investors who in turn get three minutes to ask any questions. It is only the briefest of introductions, but magic can result. We've just heard of another investment from our recent social investment evening run with Coutts. The next social investment speed dating takes place in December. However there is yet more on the horizon. In March we're taking speed dating international as we head for Zurich for our inaugural pan-European speed dating event. Watch this space for more developments. |
| Social Business Spotlight | At the last count we had more than 1,600 social businesses on our website. Here's one of them: Charity Bank is the only bank in the country that is also registered as a charity. It provides a safe way for customers to use their savings for charity while also earning a return in the process. Recently it also entered into a merger with Investing for Good in what has been hailed as a prime example of cooperation in the social enterprise sector. For more information, visit its profile on our site. |
Featured Term from the Glossary: Microfranchise
| A microfranchise is a business development tool that applies the replication concepts of traditional franchising to small businesses in the developing world. Microfranchises streamline and replicate sound business models, providing a low-cost way to start a business, often with an accompanying training and support package to ensure success. The businesses are designed for microentreprenuers and usually target development issues such as health, sanitation, and energy. |
| Social Enterprise - Latest News | | Before we go, here's a roundup of the latest news in the social business and enterprise sector.

That's all for now. Have a great month. In the mean time, do check up on www.clearlyso.com for all the latest developments in the world of social enterprise. Sincerely, Tom Cropper
