Social investment is repayable finance which helps organisations achieve their goals and a social purpose.
Investors may support an organisation with a repayable loan to help achieve a social mission. The loan is often at a more repayable rate than with a bank, even if the interest may be higher, as investors do not want you to fail and so are open to easier repayment options so your can afford to repay.

Investors may invest an amount as a loan to charities and social enterprises in order for the organisation to have access to capital to achieve their goals.
Charities or social enterprises may be able to generate surplus through trading activities, which is then used to pay back investors.
