Paying yourself as the founder of a social enterprise

It's something that is often not talked about when you set up a social enterprise: How do you pay yourself through it, so you can still afford to pay your rent, eat, etc?

This session will explore the options through which you might be able to pay yourself as a founder of a social enterprise, as well as the implications of them for yourself, the enterprise and your wider community.

Through the session you'll be able to identify what the best options might be for your circumstances, as well as understand why other options which may be presented to you as 'the best way' might not be right for you.  

This session will be led by award-winning social enterprise consultant and advisor Adrian Ashton. 

This session will help you consider:

- As a Director, you need to legally act in the best (financial) interests of the enterprise - not yourself

- The need to budget for 'on costs' for payrolled salary positions

- The significance of HMRC's IR35 role and how it relates to your work

- Your wider employment circumstances, asides from your work for your social enterprise, which may impact on how you can pay yourself

- How the involvement and roles of other co-Directors impacts on available payment options

Who is this session for?
The session is aimed at Bury-based social enterprises, including CICs and other Companies Limited by Guarantee.
