Different legal frameworks

Different legal frameworks

Particular attention needs to be paid to legal issues, as social enterprises do not have legal status in every country. This needs to be identified before entering overseas markets.  There can be legal challenges relating to Social Enterprises. Recognition and regulation of Social Enterprises is in its infancy in a number of countries.  Lack of knowledge and understanding of these legal issues before commencing a Social Enterprise in another country can cause time delays and bureaucratic challenges. It is, therefore, important to understand the legal frameworks of the country you are thinking of setting up in.
