Abstract
Social enterprise plays an important role in community development (Pearce 2003) being increasingly seen by governments as an alternative vehicle for service delivery leading policy-makers to seek ways to scale up these entities (Blundel and Lyons 2015). The social capital of social enterprise is viewed as an important sectoral attribute (Birch and Whittam 2008) offering benefits such as increased legitimacy (Ridley- Duff 2008) and collaborative networks (Meyskens et al 2010). However the embedded community networks of social enterprise may hinder these ventures (Seelos et al 2011).
