The most common reason social enterprises fail is because they lack a comprehensive business model. It is not enough for social entrepreneurs to be passionate about the issue. They have also to develop a financial strategy that both sustains the business and allows them to drive the solution for a social and environmental challenge(s) that they strive to address.

Many social entrepreneurs struggle to design a financially sustainable strategy because they fail to fully comprehend the context of the social and environmental issues that they wish to solve and map out key community partners that also play a role in solving the issue. Social entrepreneurs also become overly eager to solve the issue and, in the process, become blind to the key beneficiaries' pain.
