Social Traders

Hi and thanks for clicking on our twitter profile to find out more about who we are and what we do.

Social Traders supports and nurtures start-up and existing social enterprises in Australia.

We are built on a team of social enterprise specialists – those with business start-up, implementation, and trade practitioner skills. We have social procurement expertise, and actively pursue government and policy making.

Social Traders has developed a host of support services for the sector, of which many are online tools of the trade. Specifically, our tools are:

  • The Builder – a step-by-step process of building a social enterprise from the ground up.
  • The Crunch – support and development to turn your social enterprise idea into a reality.
  • The FINDER – an online directory of social enterprises around Australia. If you are a social enterprise, please register and learn how to upload your details so you too can share in the advantages of social procurement.
  • FASES – the only research based report on Australia's social enterprise landscape. FASES maps out the sector, enabling new and existing enterprises to truly understand the scope.
  • A calendar of workshops and events – all the details of our events such as business breakfasts and forums, and workshops in finance, marketing and procurement.
  • E-Bulletin – Australia's only national bulletin for the social enterprise sector. Covers regional, national and global topics. Sign-up for your free copy.
