This research aims to encourage people in the social sector to learn from commercial franchising, and to help them significantly increase their impact by adopting an appropriate replication strategy. The findings aim to encourage social organisations to consider replication as a viable approach both to scaling sustainably and to increasing their social impact. The research offers new frameworks that make social franchising more accessible to the busy CEO.

*In 2017 The International Centre for Social Franchising (ICSF) became Spring Impact. This report was created under our old branding and name.
