Specialist advice for financing charities and social enterprises
For over 25 years, solicitors at Wrigleys have been advising on the establishment of investments for social purposes.
Which methods of raising finance do Wrigleys advise on?
Mechanisms available to charities and social enterprises for raising finance include:
- Community share issues (for example community shops, pubs and railways);
- Bond issues (including providing for a financial return for investors);
- Renewable energy; and
- Incorporating Enterprise Incentive Scheme Tax Relief may be available for investors.
