Background: - Social enterprises (SEs) address institutional voids by solving social and environmental needs. In South Africa, SEs play a fundamental role as government led initiatives are increasingly strained in their ability to satisfy the social and environmental deficit. Consequently their funding structures are particularly relevant in the present socio-economic milieu of South Africa. Objective:- - This paper thus aimed to provide a detailed understanding of the nuances of funding of social enterprises in South Africa, exploring whether their structural and mission peculiarities warrant a unique funding approach. Methodology - This paper studied social enterprises and funders in South Africa through in-depth interviews provide a comprehensive understanding of the key funding issues from triangulating between funders and social enterprises to arrive at convergence and identify divergences. Results: The results indicate that there is no clarity on the structure and definition of social enterprises in South Africa. This has a direct bearing on the ability of the SE to attract funding as well as funders to provide funding. As a result, SEs pivot their structural from to fit funding requirements and funders sticking to funding approaches for traditional enterprises. Further, as social enterprises attain self-sustainability, scale is restrained by an unwillingness to accommodate traditional funding sources such as equity and debt. Conclusion: The results highlight the unintended funding consequence of the absence of clarity for social enterprises. pa2017 Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) MBA Unrestricted 2017-04-07T13:06:01Z 2017-04-07T13:06:01Z 2017-03-30 2017 Mini Dissertation Kuhlengisa, MM 2017, Financing social enterprises : constraints and opportunities in South Africa, MBA Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/59845> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/59845 en © 2017 University of Pretoria.
