Abstract: Street Shine was founded in early-2004 by Nick Grant as a social enterprise to provide employment to the homeless in London. It has formed an alliance with 23 offices and one hotel in London to provide the shoe-shining service. However, as it plans to become a self-sustained business by 2007, it is facing certain challenges that are commonly encountered by social enterprises, especially if they are in the business of shoe shining, which is considered to be demeaning by many. |
