THE SOCIAL COMPANY IN THE TIME OF EQUITY CROWDFUNDING

Abstract

One of the main problems faced by Italian social enterprises is the access to credit. The access to credit and the financial inclusion are crucial to promote the economic development of a territory, but the traditional access models to financing, are not able to capt the peculiarities of this particular type of non-profit enterprise. Crowdfunding can be a valid instrument especially for social enterprises, in order to access to credit. The aim of this study is to describe social enterprises not only from a legal point of view, but also from a finalistic one, through the description of the business problems related to the company and the funding opportunities that would be obtained from crowdfunding equity. In this regard, a qualitative analysis was carried out about the functioning of the social enterprise and the funding through crowdfunding. The study, moreover, not only underline the existence of alternative methods compared to traditional methods of access to credit, but also highlights how the crowdfunding model, especially the crowd-equity, is a new and easily applicable instrument. In fact, there are similar platforms that have a major impact (in terms of raising funds) and low implementation costs. Some Italian regulatory aspects, that regulate the crowd-equity, allow this instrument to be used even for social enterprises.
