Social Enterprise

Decoda is a social enterprise, constituted as a not-for-profit co. ltd. by guarantee. Any surplus funds are re-invested in furthering our work. 

A what enterprise?

When Decoda started we made a deliberate decision that rather than being a charity we wanted to be a social enterprise. The response to this was invariably the same: A what enterprise? or maybe A social what?

Several years on the picture has changed but there can still be a lot of confusion. The questions that organisations ask include

  • Shall we be a charity or a company? What's the main difference between them?
  • What's the difference between a CIC and a company limited by guarantee?
  • What other structures are available?
  • How do we get started?
  • Where can we get funding?

The 22-page booklet helps to answer those questions and also provides some local examples to encourage and inspire potential social entrepreneurs.
