Business Case Development

Developing a business case (BC) for a social business involves outlining the rationale, feasibility, and expected impact of the venture while attaining economic, social, and environmental objectives. While business case development is the key to success for every new venture, for social enterprises, it is an extremely difficult task as they are not driven by profitable opportunities. Social ventures are linked with solving social problems, which may be multifaced. At the Centre for Development Research (CDR), we bring expertise from international scholars and social-market analysts that help create new opportunities and solve problems. We bring our expertise in solving local problems with global insights, such as UN Sustainable Development Goals., Triple Bottom Line, and other development agendas. Our research team delivers well-structured documentation to support critical business initiatives and overcome challenges, as well as risk assessment, potential Investments, and projects.
