Small Business: I have a business question.
Herbert Prokscha, Founder of American food companies. answered:

Social enterprise and "most profitable" are in conflict with each other. It may be best if you focused on one or the other and once the idea works, then either make it profitable or add a social component. Trying both at the same time has a very high chance for failure.
