What have you always wanted to know about social investment, but never had the chance to ask?
Social investment is the use of repayable finance to help an organisation achieve a social purpose.
Brought to you by Good Finance in partnership with Hatch, Ask the Investor gives you the opportunity to put your questions directly to a panel of social investors. Our panel will be on hand to offer their top tips and advice for social enterprises and charities trying to navigate or learn more about social investment and share more about some of the finance and support available.
What do you actually need to consider when exploring social investment? Who are the social investors? How does it differ from borrowing from a bank? What does the application process involve and how long does it take? What support can investors offer when things don't quite go to plan?
