SME profile : social enterprises in Canada / Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, Small Business Branch ; Adrian Egbers and Lyming Huang.Iu188-113/9-2022E-PDF

"In Canada, there is a growing interest in the social enterprise sector, yet there has been little data available to help understand the financing, growth, procurement, innovation and exports of social enterprises, as well as the obstacles they face. To help fill this data gap, this report uses an experimental dataset developed from the 2017 Survey on Financing and Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises to offer the first-ever snapshot of how social enterprises operate in and contribute to the Canadian economy. In particular, the financing and growth activities, as well as firm and owner characteristics, of not‐for‐profit social enterprises and for-profit social enterprises are compared to those of co-operatives and small and medium-sized enterprises"--Abstract, page 1.
