Buy Social Canada has released Built for Impact, Ready for Market, the first national survey of Canada's social enterprise sector in a decade.
Drawing on responses from more than 400 social enterprises, the report highlights key barriers to growth, including limited access to markets, capital and business support, while also documenting the sector's significant economic and social contributions.
It concludes with recommendations for governments, funders and ecosystem organisations to strengthen procurement opportunities, improve access to finance and build long-term sector capacity.
