Guide developed in collaboration with the Thomson Reuters Foundation´s TrustLaw programme, the legal offices of Beccar Varela, HP Inc. Argentina and Hewlett Packard Argentina.

Description: Findings from our first study of Inclusive Business initiatives (2012-2013) showed that social entrepreneurs lacked information on the legal aspects of establishing their businesses. This guide was developed to offer basic information to entrepreneurs who are leading Inclusive Businesses and/or looking to define the best possible legal structure for their venture.

Objective:
To provide a practical tool for understanding basic legal considerations for social entrepreneurs who are leading or interested in founding an Inclusive Business. This guide explains the different existing legal structures in Argentina; describes the requirements to register one must consider in each option; and outlines the costs, the benefits and the restrictions associated with each one. Finally, the guide also includes recommendations and practical examples.

Intended for:
Leaders of Inclusive Businesses and Social Companies.

Objective:

To investigate how large companies develop programs with social impact in Argentina and how those programs fit within their business models. The specific objectives of this research include: (1) to develop a Conceptual Framework on how companies are structured to develop programs with social impact and (2) to obtain an understanding of programs with social impact, distinguishing between those directly related to core business competencies and those that are unrelated to the core business. 

The Conceptual Framework enabled us to identify three Profiles of how companies organize to promote social business programs. Organizations may use these Profiles as a benchmark to evaluate programs.

Intended for:

The community that forms the ecosystem of Inclusive Business: entrepreneurs, businesses, investors, support organizations, the academic community, civil society organizations and public entities.
