spin outs.

We work with spin-outs across the public sector, having gained our experience as a support provider to the Public Service Mutuals Programme initially led by the Department of Health and then the Cabinet Office.  We have spun-out social enterprises within the NHS, including Primary Care Trusts, Health Centres, Counselling and therapy services, Personalisation services and GP practices.  Our work with the Cabinet Office led us to support spin-outs in education, business services, creative and the arts and IT.

We have established programmes with universities throughout the UK and specialise in working with the commercialisation of social science research.

We have also managed the spin-out of social enterprise within the corporate sector.

For those wishing to consider the option of spinning-out a social enterprise, we offer our Social Enterprise Awareness Programme, a programme of six workshops covering Legal Structures, Income Generation, Stakeholder Engagement, Accounting for Social Value, Writing a Social Enterprise Business Plan and Value and Values in Business Today.

For those that go onto to establish a social enterprise, we provide our tailored Business Development Programme, through a series of interactive workshops that support the new business to set up their preferred legal structure, establish their governance, create their business model, carry out market research to prove the evidence of need to potential investors, forecast social return on investment, prepare financial projections and develop an income generation plan.  We even support the writing of funding applications to get the business started.

We work closely with our clients to help manage the transition of the social enterprise out of the host organisation which includes providing an options appraisal, transition plan, IP due diligence, transfer of assets, HR expertise (including TUPE), digital set up and operations plan for the new business.
