“A social business is a business that pays no dividends. It sells products at prices that make it self-sustaining.

The owners of the company can get back the amount they’ve invested in the company over a period of time, but no profit is paid to investors in the form of dividends. Instead, any profit made stays in the business—to finance expansion, to create new products or services, and to do more good for the world.”
